I don't think "Ellegie" was on that Art Tatum album, as a matter of fact. But it's very cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345387.post-32934503998105486282007-03-23T16:07:00.000-04:002007-03-23T16:07:00.000-04:00I hear you, Emmett, all the way from the back row....I hear you, Emmett, all the way from the back row.<BR/><BR/>When I was about ten years old i bought three albums from a Public Library Sale: one was an Art Tatum retrospective; one was by Grover Washington Jr.; and the third will remain a carefully guarded secret.<BR/><BR/>The first two LPs cost me 15p, the third, 50p - but it was a double album, and it was on Stax.<BR/><BR/>My friends all thought i was absolutely crazy, but that Library was a real Aladdin's Cave and it was from there I first heard a lot of things which have stayed with me ever since. Nice one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
