b) The recording features intricate improvisation.
c) The recording includes a prominent electric guitar solo.
d) "Over the Rainbow" is a well-known jazz standard.

Answer 1

The statement about Art Tatum's recording of 'Over the Rainbow' that includes a prominent electric guitar solo is false, as his celebrated rendition is a solo piano performance known for its virtuosity and improvisation.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following are true of Art Tatum's recording of "Over the Rainbow" EXCEPT: c) The recording includes a prominent electric guitar solo. While Art Tatum is celebrated for his extraordinary skill and virtuosic piano technique, his version of 'Over the Rainbow' is a solo piano piece and does not feature an electric guitar. His recordings are known for their intricate improvisation, and 'Over the Rainbow' is indeed a well-known jazz standard that many jazz musicians have covered. However, the inclusion of a prominent electric guitar solo is not accurate for this particular recording by Art Tatum.
