Arthur Tatum Jr. was an American jazz pianist and virtuoso. Critic Scott Yanow opined that "Tatum's recordings still have the ability to scare modern pianists." The jazz pianist and educator Kenny Barron has commented that "I have every record [Tatum] ever made -- and I try never to listen to them. .. If I did, I'd throw up my hands and give up!" Jean Cocteau dubbed Tatum "a crazed Chopin." Some jazz musicians liked to call him the eighth wonder of the world. Wikipedia
