Art Tatum Trio.
In the first episode of this new programme featuring recordings of small swing groups, the focus is on pianist Art Tatum’s trio, which he formed in 1943. His choice for guitar player Tiny Grimes and bass player Slam Stewart turned out to be a very good one and the combo became very successful. In 1944 a large number of records were made, a selection of which can be heard in this programme.
