1.0 out of 5 stars Disgusted by the fake applause, April 19, 1999
By A Customer
I transcribe Art Tatum's music, so it did not take me very long to find out that applause was electronically added to well known non-live and classic performances. I found this to be very offensive. Art Tatum is the greatest jazz pianist who ever lived and does not deserve to be a vehicle for such a digusting rip off. This practice if it exists anywhere else should be banned, unless the listener in warned. This might explain why there is virtually no documantation anywhere to go with the CD. Also it might answer the previous reviewer's question regarding the dates of these performances.

2.0 out of 5 stars You can get these performances minus the applause, April 20, 2003
To the best of my knowledge, Art Tatum only recorded "Three Little Words" once... it appears on THE STANDARD TRANSCRIPTIONS. I was excited to discover that he had apparently recorded it live as well, but having read previous reviews here, and noticing that the song titles mirrored those of THE STANDARD TRANSCRIPTIONS almost exactly, I decided to listen to the Real Audio extract of "Three Little Words" from this album. It is absolutely the same as performance as the one on THE STANDARD TRANSCRIPTIONS. Do yourself a favor -- buy THE STANDARD TRANSCRIPTIONS instead, and avoid the overdubbed applause.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overdubbed Applause? Ridiculous!, July 7, 2004
By Travis R. Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I knew I'd heard these versions before on other discs, but what a low blow to pass these off as LIVE recordings. It's pretty obvious that the audio levels between piano and audience aren't even close to matching. Not only that, but I don't think there was ever a club where Tatum would have permitted such rampant conversation during his entire performance. Either that, or the audience was the stupidest to ever congregate.
It's a moot point to discuss Tatum on the disc; he's always been the best. But don't help line the pockets of whatever fat cat exec thought up this moronic concept.
