All Music Guide Review

The seventh in Classics' chronological survey of pianist Art Tatum's complete recorded work, this one covers the end of 1949 through 1953 and features mostly solo pieces from Tatum, who was simply the most amazing piano player in the whole history of jazz. His explosiveness, speed, and endlessly inventive arrangements make his recordings a thing apart, and this set is no exception. Try the familiar standards here like "Blue Skies" or "Tea for Two" to hear what Tatum brings to the table. Amazing. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
