Rare material from the great Art Tatum – a series of recordings that were only issued on the V-Disc label, for circulation and broadcast in the world of American military overseas! The tracks were recorded on a few different occasions near the end of WWII and slightly after – and capture Tatum in his 40s prime, at a time when he was creating even more incredible sounds on piano than the decade before – working here on two tracks with the guitar of Tiny Grimes and bass of Slam Stewart – then stepping out in sublime solo mode on the rest of the tracks on the collection! 14 titles in all – including a performance from the first Esquire Concert that was never issued at the time. © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Used CD Grade
We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
Condition Notes
If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
