“I scattered seed enough to plant the land
in rows from Canada to Mexico
but for my reaping only what the hand
can hold at once is all that I can show.”

Art Tatum, Jazz Pianist, #BornOnThisDay in 1909, in Toledo, Ohio

“They have devised this trick to make people believe that one man is playing the piano, when I know at least three people are playing.” (Hank Jones remembering when he first heard Tatum on radio)
