Last Thursday, when flying home to Dallas, TX, I met an interesting individual on the plane and we began to discuss music.  He turned me on to a great piano player from the past by the name of Art Tatum.  I promised that I would look up Art Tatum once I returned home.  After briefly listening to a couple of Art’s tracks, I have fallin’ in love.  Art was a very influential Jazz pianist and paved the way for artists such as Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder.  Interestingly enough, Art Tatum was a blind pianist as well.  This is a great listen for a Monday.  Enjoy!
