Usually when I see someone play piano who's better than me, I get encouraged to practice and get better. Art Tatum is different. He makes me want to quit. Or have a hand transplant.
Your jaw is not the only one dropping. Horowitz and Rubinstein were also dumbfounded by Tatum's virtousity. May I highly suggest Cziffra's rendition of Liszt's Grand Gallop Chromatique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SygS5yz7x5M

Cziffra was sick, Doc. Thanks for the link. Wowsers. Who are some of your favorites?
o.k. - on the first video, watch with :15 seconds left. He starts this crazy run from the bottom of the keys to the top.
He lets his LEFT HAND do about 2/3rds of it before his right takes over.
UNFAIR.
