Previously released as two separate volumes, The Complete Capitol Recordings of Art Tatum is a two-disc collection that presents everything the pianist recorded for Capitol Records in chronlogical order. There's 20 solo sides from 1949 and a 1952 session with a trio of guitarist
Everett Barksdale and bassist
Slam Stewart. Throughout the collection,
Tatum sounds wonderful -- he was a rare player that was extremely technically advanced and also very lyrical. For any
Tatum fan, this set is a necessity. ~ Leo Stanley
