Art Tatum<\/strong>, God Is In The House<\/em><\/a> (High Note)<\/p>\n

\"Tatum,<\/a>The title comes from what Fats Waller said when he saw Art Tatum walk into a club where Waller was playing. Dan Morgenstern tells the story in his notes for this essential collection, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6he stopped the music and announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I play the piano, but God is in the house tonight.’\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tatum was Waller\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s primary inspiration.
