17 de may. de 2024 · Fats Waller (born May 21, 1904, New York City, New York, U.S.—died December 15, 1943, Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.) was an American pianist and composer who was one of the few outstanding jazz musicians to win wide commercial fame, though this was achieved at a cost of obscuring his purely musical ability under a cloak of broad comedy.
Fats Waller picked up modern jazz by ear when he was young, and shocked his father when he “jazzyfied” a church hymn on the organ. He appeared in a few Hollywood films such as Hooray for Love!, King of Burlesque, and Stormy Weather.; According to some sources, Fats was kidnapped by Al Capone’s henchmen and forced to perform at a multi-day birthday party for the gangster boss.
