Human Redundancies



Here's a recent email I got from Zenph Studios:

First, Sony’s new Tatum album with Zenph is getting remarkable reviews. For example, this review appeared in Sunday’s Buffalo News (page down to ‘Jazz’): http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=13604691&msgid=188312&act=OBBB&c=207937&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buffalonews.com%2Fentertainment%2Fstory%2F370744.html
Come see the show!! We’re presenting a new production at New York’s Apollo Theater this week. It’s a one-man play; on stage is actor Paul Butler playingm the owner of a jazz club. Throughout the show he’s discussing his lifetime friendship with Art Tatum. As events in Tatum’s life are introduced, the high-resolution reproducing piano on stage plays Tatum’s re-performances. It’s been great watching Paul’s reaction during the rehearsals – he’s truly mesmerized. If you are in New York June 19, 20, or 22, you really should see this historic, world-premiere play. Our Web site has details and a link for buying tickets: http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=13604691&msgid=188312&act=OBBB&c=207937&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.art-tatum.com%2F
We’re been working closely with the Tatum family, and at the Sunday show, will be donating items from the estate to the Jazz Museum in Harlem – including Tatum’s own grand piano. Here are the details: http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=13604691&msgid=188312&act=OBBB&c=207937&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zenph.com%2Ftatum%2Fgift.html Artwork!
