Here is some text from Andrew’s press release:
Nine Stories is pleased to introduce Tatum’s Lounge, a project that explores the structural limits of a found group of parts, all similar but none the same, in the creation of a chair dedicated to the wonderful stride pianist Arthur Tatum.
Deemed “ the greatest pianist in any style” by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Art Tatum was a man of immeasurable talent who created sounds both wonderful and chaotic. Made up of 25 salvaged piano keys (and very little else) Tatum’s Lounge was over the course of 2 years built in an organic manner something like a Tatum piano solo; with both order and abandon.
