Art Tatum: The Musical presented by Glass City Reflections

Written, directed and produced by Dianne E’Laine Webb

This one-act musical features eleven original songs celebrating the life of Art Tatum, the world-renowned jazz pianist who was born and got his start in Toledo.

Art Tatum the Musical chronicles the grand rising of the Toledo-bred virtuoso. From his childhood home at 1123 City Park, not far from the world-class Toledo Museum of Art, to his sophisticated undertakings with Adelaide Hall in New York City and his first solo piano recording ("Tiger Rag"), the majestic production follows Tatum's ascent behind the piano to the global stage. 

Produced by Dianne E'Laine Webb and featuring The Doug 419 Community Youth Choir, Ann Jerkins Harris Academy of Excellence Select Choir, Dianne's students from the Forté Music School, and several adult community members.
