The pianist Art Tatum has become something of a legend, but around 1950 his career was in decline, his health steadily deteriorating. This week, Mel Hill tells how in 1953 Norman Granz engaged Tatum for a huge project to record 13 solo albums and a further eight with small groups including Lionel Hampton ,
Roy Eldridge and Buddy Rich. With recollections by Ray Brown , Dizzy Gillespie , Nesui Ertegen and Granz himself.
In this age of technology and computers, how important is the idea of simplicity in music? Can musicians be taught to play and compose simply or is it a gift? And what does simplicity actually mean? Stuart Maconie sets out to look at all genres of music and to find out whether the space between the notes can be as important as the notes themselves.
