Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack presents the story of Billy Taylor and Art Tatum. When Billy was a teenage pianist in Washington, D.C. in the 1930s, his piano idol was Art Tatum. Billy moved to NYC in 1943 and his first gig, with Ben Webster, was at club where the other act was Art Tatum. Billy soon became Tatum's protege.
