    I must say I’m a bit disappointed by Art tatum’s version of Yesterdays, to my mind it doesn’t compare to Claude Bolling’s one… but well, tous les goûts sont dans la nature! :)

    My best choice wouldn’t be Art Tatum, but MASTER John Lewis.

    Here’s a nice (musical) documentary: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1953684076106359886&hl=en
