This is me taking a shot at the song Tiger Rag and this is sort of how Art Tatum played it. This is based on the 1933 version. I do plan to practice and it should sound much better, but i think this is it.. please leave a comment. Sorry about the Yao Ming thing, lol, that's about the only place i could sit my iphone to record. Please note, Im not done, I will upload this again soon to this channel. Anyways, thanks for viewing i plan to upload again soon. And did i mention Art must have had huge hands, and it's not just the tenths and elevenths with two or three notes in the middle that are difficult, but more the enormous leaps he takes so effortlessly.. it took all i had to hit those bass notes from 2:21-30 as you can probably tell.
