Art Tatum
1909-1956
". . . In this modern jazz, they heard something rebel and
nameless that spoke for them, and their lives knew a
gospel for the first time. It was more than a music;
it became an attitude toward life, a way of walking, a
language and a costume; and these introverted kids...
now felt somewhere at last." -John Clellon Holmes
