Celebrate the debut of previously unreleased music by the Toledo virtuoso Art Tatum. Join us for an album discussion with selected musical snippets from the newest album & DIY crafts.
At the Blue Note Records club in Chicago, Art Tatum recorded Jewels in the Treasure Box alongside guitarist Everett Burksdale and bassist Slam Stewart. Hearing Art Tatum perform in a trio is a rare feat, but across several nights in Chicago in March of 1953, the elusive soloist swings on the piano.
Art Tatum was one of the greatest improvisational musicians in the history of jazz and is heralded for his artistic vision and technical ability. The Art Tatum African American Resource Center is dedicated space to provide educational and historical information on African American cultural heritage and experiences. It is located within the Kent Branch and is open to visitors during Library hours.
