Thank you my Friend. My jazz nut DAD 💔(whom l just lost; He was my Best Friend ! 😰). He took me to see Dave Brubeck when l was three years old. Senator Eugene Wright was my GODFATHER! And now he’s up there with my DAD💔. I took up the piano at 6 coz of my DAD💔. I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful site. You NEVER stop learning! BEETHOVEN is my hero; but to make money to feed my voracious music habit, DAD advised me to play rock to survive! 😆SAD BUT TRUE. So l play rock guitar as well!!! Bravo, l’m glad l found you! You’re a breath of fresh air! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🎹🎸🇦🇺😃

Very insightful and useful material you present well here. The 2 fingered runs unlocks a sound for sure. Just think in the 1930's Art has figured this out and was doing this? And it still holds up and sounds new, modern, and applicable today. I think Art's sound, his touch, is what is most unique, like fireworks in accuracy and clarity. While exact transcriptions are very useful in studying his exact note choices, I feel exploring his touch and technique alone can lead to one's own application to the player's own musical choices. You can apply this sound to many styles of playing. Horowitz and Rachmanioff used to listen to Art play live for I believe this very reason. Art has a sound that is worth internalizing and integrating into your own playing as you have done here in your video. Looking at the dozens of transcriptions available of Tatum's playing on You Tube, it becomes apparent that Art's arrangements make sense and are very compositional. The note choices and chord voicings utilize a complete vocabulary of inversions, scales, used in the most basic and straight forward ways but it is his playing, touch, accuracy, and time (played fast adds magic) that makes it so unique and individual. It inspires us to relearn the basics (arpeggios, scales and variations).

It really does help me a lot now that I think about it. I could not figure some of these out. And it's really gonna help me understand is to stick them in his bouncier(if that's a word) rhythms. Because I noticed he would stick triplets or sixlets in his fours a lot, but could never understand the fingering. thanx to you.....BINGO! Lol. Thanks again. I'm just mad that after all the youtubing I've been doing, I'm just now seeing this. I gotta learn to search better. Lol. Thanx again.

Thanks for your comment. Yes your right but I would use thumb on the B,2nd finger on A,thumb on F,2nd finger D,etc. It has a better fell to it for this key.You can start with any note or notes leading up to it.Actually Art did not do a 2-finger run for G7th.He used a G13th run with a grace note.3rd finger on E,thumb on B,2nd finger on A,thumb on F,etc.And you lighty touch the F above the E before you strike the B.I did not mean to confuse things but for the record.

You are an excellent player yourself. I've never been able to master the Tatum fast runs. It's hard to believe he hit them with perfect at that speed, and could barely see, and certainly not the keyboard. To play like that without looking is beyond rational description. It really is a divine natural gift. But it went far beyond technique, he was a brilliantly creative and innovative musical mind that wasn't influence by bebop as much as he influenced it. Charlie Parker's first job in NYC was washing dishes at a bar just so he could hear Tatum play. What a joy.

These are great. I first watched this tape a year ago and I could play them like the wind after three months so persevere. You can stick them in now and then. I came up with one that sounds good over a C7, Gm, Bb, Dm and other chords with consonant notes. It starts with a single D with the left hand then with the right play a descending Dm chord with the r/h AFD notes, landing on the D you initially played with the left hand. Use the 4,2,1 fingers. Then with the left hand play The G below the initial D with the left hand. Follow with a descending Gm, DBbG, with the r/h ending on the initial G left hand note. Carry on down four octaves. Use it to warm up or as a flash intro in the key of F. Take this pattern down, then a fast run in C back up setting up the key of F. Practice and you'll find descending you can play it so fast that the initial Notes D and G will be almost instantaneously followed by the D and G, the last notes of the descending triads. No pedal, that's important, other chords can be combined
