The Art Tatum Collection

Very good arrangements. Not one for faint hearted; though the huge stretches and extremely fast passages that embody Tatum's style make each piece a delight to play.

authentic and excellent transcriptions

Excellent transcriptions and authentic. I have purchased other Art Tatum sheet music transcriptions but this is the best one by far. I have Tatum's 1933 recordings and many of these transcriptions are right on the money.

Perfect Transcriptions

I bought a couple of Art Tatum Music CDs and I bought this book and I saw that the transcriptions were perfect. I had the songs The Man I love, Tiger Rag and more on my Cd's and I heard and saw that the transcriptions are absolutely perfect
