Our Take

Review:

If you're looking for a piano virtuoso who can make your eardrums tingle and your heart sing, look no further than Art Tatum. The Classic Years. Vol. 2 is a must-listen for any jazz lover with a pulse (and even those without one, for that matter).

From the moment Tatum's fingers touch the keys, you know you're in for a wild ride. His lightning-fast runs and intricate harmonies are enough to make even the most seasoned pianist weep with envy. But Tatum isn't just about technical prowess; he brings an undeniable sense of soul and emotion to every note he plays.

This album showcases Tatum at his absolute best, with tracks like "Yesterdays" and "Willow Weep for Me" that will leave you breathless. His unique blend of swing, blues, and bebop is unlike anything you've ever heard before - and trust me, you won't be able to stop listening.

So, grab a glass of your finest scotch, dim the lights, and let Art Tatum serenade you into a state of bliss. The Classic Years. Vol. 2 is a timeless masterpiece that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Don't sleep on this one, folks - Tatum is a force to be reckoned with, and this album proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Pitchfork rating: 9.5/10. Brilliance personified.
