Too Marvelous for Words: The Life and Genius of Art Tatum [Paperback] Review

I am ecstatic that this marvelous book has been written.I truly believed, until this book became known to me, that I would for all my life enjoy Art Tatum without ever knowing anything about him.To me, this is a first rate book that will stand the test of time and be cherished by future generations. The author is an accomplished pianist and he writes about Tatum in a way that I, as a pianist, can profoundly relate to. I suspect this will probably be the only book that will ever be written about Tatem, as he wasborn in 1909 and the people who knew him are dying off. For me, the journey to this book was to first read the wonderful biography of Bud Powellby Francis Paudras, then read the fascinating biography of Bill Evans by Peter Pettinger, and then read this incredible Tatum biography.Reading this book has inspired me to study, more deeply, Fats Waller.The era during which which Art Tatum, Fats Waller, J.P. Johnson, Willie the Lion, et al., were kings, is a fascinating, riveting period that deserves study by all who have a love of jazz piano.
