We celebrate legendary American jazz pianist, organist, composer, violinist, singer, and comedic entertainer Thomas Fats Waller. He laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano and some say he paved the way for rock-n-roll. Waller started playing piano at the age of 6, and copyrighted over 400 songs during his career, including Grammy winners "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose". Waller was a critical and commercial sensation in the United States and Europe. Unfortunately he died from pneumonia at the early age 39 in 1943. We have Fats Waller performing live in 1938, an appearance on the popular Edgar Bergen Show just before his death in 1943, a tribute concert by Eddie Condon in 1944, plus a dramatization of life of Fats Waller on Destination Freedom.
