a really great pianist, the finest in the general style art tatum pioneered, who worked at an amazing level of countrapunctual invention (within a tightly circumscribed form no less) in his playing. i was never a particular fan of his style (i like folk who are more raggedy, like sun ra or jaki byard in their approach to oldschool materials).......but his playing: damn...
rip sir.
