(15[2])This musician (-5[1])performed hard-to-transcribe solos on live renditions of “Mirage” and “Boogie Blues Etude.” The drummer Ed Thigpen backed up this musician, bassist (*) Ray Brown, and guitarist Herb Ellis on songs like “Hymn to Freedom” and “C Jam (10[1])Blues” by this musician’s namesake (10[1])“trio.” This musician, who briefly quit playing as a child out of shock (10[1])at hearing Art Tatum’s skill, was nicknamed the “Maharaja of the Keyboard” by Duke (10[1])Ellington.
