This fantastic group of radio performances from 1940 captures the piano genius in classic form. Playing a couple of piano solos each week on a radio show entitled California Melodies, Tatum runs through two dozen absolutely amazing turns on classics like "Caravan," "Begin the Beguine," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Where or When," "Tea for Two," "All The Things You Are," "Body and Soul," and "I Cried for You."
