One of the greatest pianists who ever lived!
JazzLars many pianoplayers try to play like Fatsie Wetsie but there is only one original Fats and the others take a lot of his notea
One of the most beautiful piano touch ever
Thank you for sharing this. What an amazingly talented musician he was. I always know when I'm hearing his music, because he makes his mark on whatever he plays. I can think of very few musicians whose music makes me happier. When I was young, one of my happiest moments was when I put on a Fats Waller album for my grandma, who grew up in New York, and she burst with happiness at the sound of his music, I had always wondered where she got the saying, "Mercy!" from, but after that, I knew. His music has had a hold on me ever since, and I am constantly amazed at how his music moves me. He is, and always will be, one of the greatest., in my opinion,
Dave, you hit the nail on the head about what made Fats Waller so great. No other musician gives me so much joy.

Just so terrific, nobody played tenths in the bass as good As fats and it gave his playing a rhythmic solidarity that was really great,add to that his right hand figures ,and you have this masterpiece,and it's just fun .
So true! I do love me some of the more "walking tenths" heavy styles that evolved from typical stride that people like Art, Teddy, Hines and Oscar adopted, for example. However, the way Fats incorporated the tenths a little more spraringly in his steady stride was absolutely masterful. Deliberate placement to bring out a clear bass and more subtely tenor melody.
Génial pianiste, génial compositeur, génial showman !!!
Another Fats Waller gem I've never heard before! Thank you
Great find! Have NEVER heard this one---FATS is in RARE form on this recording!
And amazing sound for an acetate!
One Never Knows Do One?!
Pure genius
Semplicemente STRA-OR-DI-NA-RIO !!! :-)
Thanks! Although I have many of Fats' recordings on LP records and now CDs
I hadn't heard this one before. =:)
This is right up my alley! Thank you for sharing this recording :)
My All Time Favorite
Totally agree
Great
Genial pianist
:D love this guy!
His playing was impossible, like an elephant dancing on the head of a pin! Just listen to the grace and precision of his contrapuntal base line at 2:35-2:39.

Wait, did you transfer this disc?
Acetate, don't you mean shellac? Shellac was used to make 78's
Acetat mean 33 rpm record discs used by film studios or big radio stations. The 33 rpm record where first made by Victor in 1931,32, in that time they also made the first amazing Hifi recordings in new jersey and in a studio, i mean 5, at NBC, New York. The lowdown killed this project. Also Victor made in 1931 first stereo investigations, between the deepwriting Edison Records and highwriting normal 78' . You see, the story of recordings took place in 1931, but the LP came after war, 1948, and stereo much later, when they remember 1931.
@@thomassabeldindahouse6753 Thanks for the info!
An Acetate would be a hard disc such as aluminum covered with something like easily cut dried paint. The needle would cut in the "paint." Instantly playable, good for a limited number of playbacks.
@@moldyoldie7888 Thanks for the explanation :) I found out 2 years later that lacquer covered discs were used as the first medium in the process for a long time too.
