I guarantee you, if you have an ear for piano, he's a name you won't soon forget. Try this when you get some time:

Oh yeah, and he was blind.

Wow. That was quite something. 0_o Those runs are amazing... I totally believe you now about the chords too.

To this day, I've never seen anyone with a left hand like Art Tatum.
I play piano, but I'm no piano player if that makes sense. I'm more guitar and bass, but piano helps with songwriting. As someone who plays, I know you listen to piano differently than most. Art Tatum is one of the scariest piano players I've ever heard because I know how to listen to him.
Another one people seem to forget could play the shit out of a piano was Nat King Cole:

Yeah, it's so amazing! When he crossed his left hand over I just laughed in amazement...
