Art Tatum uses a lot of parallel movement in his licks. I can’t quite figure out what intervals they are, but they sound so rich and full. I also noticed his technicality – the arpeggiation he does in his left hand is something I only associated with classical music, but he does it so effortlessly.

He’s great at choosing which motives to repeat and how many times to repeat them. I comfortably expect them when he repeats them, and then when I’m ready for something new, he delivers.
