Piano starts here : the young Art Tatum
Regardless of whether they have heard of jazz or Art Tatum, young readers will appreciate how Parker uses simple, lyrical storytelling and colorful, energetic ink-and-wash illustrations to show the world as young Art Tatum might have seen it. Tatum came from modest beginnings and was nearly blind, but his passion for the piano and his acute memory for any sound that he heard drove him to become a virtuoso who was revered by both classical and jazz pianists alike. Included in the back matter is a biography and bibliography.

Too Marvelous for Words
Art Tatum defined the limits of the possible in jazz piano.Gunther Schuller called Tatum's playing \"a marvel of perfection...His deep-in-the-keys full piano sonority, the tone and touch control in pyrotechnical passages...are miracles of performance.\" Whitney Balliett wrote \"no pianist has ever hit notes more beautifully.

First settled in 1841 beside the Trinity River, and later incorporated in 1856, Dallas is still a youthful growing city, with cranes and new construction ubiquitous across its massive 385 square-mile footprint.

The Tradition of Pianos
Think, also, of the truckers who haul the wood for miles by rig to those quirky piano makers, who conjure math and the devils of pig iron to engineer some beast-scaled hunk, some apparatus that, played with both precision and weight, falls only infinitesimally short of holy. Miles, for example, talked shit about McCoy, but the summer of 1988, on the bedroom floor, I rigged a turntable straight with no pre-amp and knelt to the speaker with \"My Favorite Things\" playing over and over, and I'd pop up to run between that hot, cramped wreck of a space and the brown Baldwin in the living room, until I finally doubled over on the stairs and surrendered.
