Piano Starts Here, long considered one of Tatum’s definitive albums, combined four solos from a 1933 studio session (his first as a soloist, aside from a test pressing a year earlier), and a fabulous solo concert at the Shrine Continue reading “Art Tatum – Piano Starts Here: Live At The Shrine (2008) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”
