Art Tatum, ‘The Musician’s Musician’

A wonderful program on Art Tatum from NPR:

One of the greatest improvisers in jazz history, Art Tatum also set the standard for technical dexterity with his classic 1933 recording of “Tea for Two.” Nearly blind, Tatum had artistic vision and ability that made him an icon of jazz piano, a musician whose impact will be felt for generations to come.

The proverb, I am sure every Vietnamese knows by heart, is: “Mot cay lam chang nen non, ba cay chum lai nen hon nui cao.” Stone Phillips’s “Postcard from New Orleans” reports how the Vietnamese-American of New Orleans pulled together to turn the worse natural disaster in the US history into a success story.

Big up to my people in New Orleans!
