Art Tatum's best recording?


What is it?

Very difficult question - Art Tatum is so great that maybe only Oscar Peterson's play can be compared in my opinion.
I personally like at most "Body & Soul" and "Begin The Beguine".

I dont know if its his definitive greatest- but this stab at Humoresque is so good i can never hear it without smiling :

His recording of "Tea for Two" always kills me. It's like the finest cognac. Just one small dose can make me smile for hours.

I can listen to his version of "Tiger Rag" any time, day or night, and it will make me smile. But honestly, listen to anything he ever did and you'll be glad. Art Tatum was a gift from God.
