Walter Donaldson's You're Driving Me Crazy was a hit in 1930 and has been a favourite of swinging pianists ever since. Tatum takes it at a clip, the stride left hand pumping under right-hand figures that keep threatening to leave the beat behind and never do.
He set it down at the December 1953 date that opened his famous solo marathon for Norman Granz, issued the following year in The Genius of Art Tatum series. Listen closely to the source recording and you can even hear him quietly humming along.
Separated hands make the fast passages practicable at any tempo.

Art Tatum
Nearly blind from infancy, Art Tatum set a standard of jazz piano virtuosity that has never been surpassed. His runs, reharmonisations and stride technique stunned even classical virtuosos, and pianists still study his recordings note by note.
