    Art Tatum is an iconic jazz pianist, one of the giants of jazz piano. His playing was prebop, and only presaged bebop, yet it was innovative, virtuosic, full of reharmonizations and sweeping cadenzas. Some felt his playing was overbearingly ornate; others liked the baroque quality of Tatum's piano just fine, calling him the god of piano and other honorifics. ~Aviva Gabriel

    The Tatum? What's The Tatum, you ask? // Well, it has a little something to do with Tatum's technical dexterity on the piano keys. Read this: // In 1993, an MIT student invented a term that is now in common usage in the field of computational musicology: The Tatum. It means the smallest perceptual time unit in music. // Source: Tristan Jehan, Creating Music by Listening, Chapter 3: Music Li
