Help[Opinions] Swing?
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I really wouldn't say that Art Tatum played anything that had swing to it. In fact, his music is more closely related to bebop than swing. He is thought to be the most gifted jazz pianist, expanding jazz beyond the swing feel.

Bebop was inspired by him later on, if i recall right. Yes I know it's beyond quite a lot of things, but I'm just stating what I learned from my teacher.
ETA: many consider him to be a genius when it comes to JAzz, however others may not think so, it depends on the person.
I cannot comment because I don't listen to much Jazz.
