'Hello there, I'm Hazel Scott': Jazz's unsung artist-activist | JAZZ NIGHT IN AMERICA
If you've been on social media these past few years, you might have seen a video of Hazel Scott, without knowing it was Hazel Scott. In the clip, she sits poised between two pianos - one white, one black - the back of her spotless white gown showing off a boldly deep V-cut. She captivatingly plays those pianos simultaneously. Her fingers perform fox trots and quicksteps across the keys, showcasing just some of what made her a thrilling performer. But there is more to Scott than that one stunning display of her skills.The Juilliard-educated child prodigy counted noted jazz icons Art Tatum, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus among her mentors and contemporaries. Scott featured at iconic venues like Café Society and Carnegie Hall, on the radio and Broadway stages, and commanded both top dollar and dignified roles in Hollywood in the 1930s and '40s. Scott's stardom culminated in her becoming the first Black person to host a television show in 1950, setting the stage for Black hosts like Nat King Cole and Oprah Winfrey.So why is Scott likely unfamiliar to the casual jazz fan, unlike those mentors and contemporaries? At a time when it was dangerous to simply exist as a Black woman in America, Scott audaciously fought against segregation and spoke against the Sen. Joseph McCarthy era Red Scare of the 1950s, all to the detriment of her career. In this Jazz Night in America video, we shine a light on the artistry and activism of the pianist and singer, and the efforts to recover her legacy.

If the last two years have taught us anything, it would have to be finding a (shaky, perhaps) balance between celebrating life while continuing to grieve. This year, the music community bid farewell to more than 50 jazz icons; amongst them were people who changed the way we experience jazz forever, from Chick Corea and Dr. Lonnie Smith to George Wein and Greg Tate. Their music, performances, wo...

The only thing that would have made it better is the audience but even without that, I was thankful for the experience."

Miles Davis famously once said, "I have to change; it's like a curse." And, that’s exactly what he did throughout his entire career. In 1969, the trumpet icon may have pulled off his greatest reinvention yet: he went “electric.” He turned the jazz world upside down. It was the beginning of what is commonly referred to as the Electric Miles period - groundbreaking, raw, controversial, and now, c...

I don't have any words. That's how it should be. Brilliant
Been fortunate to see her several times and she is just a mega talent, her voice is like a prima ballerina, a 100 meter sprinter, a gymnast all in one.

Awesome performance! I've heard of Shemekia Copeland.
This slaps hard when you now have a partner that understands this type of music.
Awesome!!

An absolutely great and touching concert! I love the voice and guitar playing of Camila. I saw and heard her in Frankfurt this week and she was amazing. Camila, this concert transfers me to another world.
Лучшие! Очень жду выступления BBNG в Гамбурге на ElbJazz❤
Musique relaxante. Bon jazz. Salutations de Suisse
09:37 (just a reminder to myself, you all are marvelous)
still the best thing of the last 10 years
I find myself coming back to this video every couple years and wishing Glasper had an hour long episode of different jazz influences on 90s and early 2000s hip hop songs
❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
13:38 even Kamasi indulges in the lick from time to time.
"America's gift to the world is jazz"- what a great line.
Perfect combo 👌 Jon you are a God 👏
What exactly was the legal basis od Alice Coltrane's lawsuit? Let's all sue the Mormons for claiming THEY'RE Gods when they die.
I saw BBNG perform with Ghostface Killa years ago. It was epic. I'd love to see them perform this new album.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
初めて見た音の融合。 合う。
18:03 oh you whiteless
Home free (for Peter Joe) is a piece of genius composition. Mr Jaleel Shaw came in 100% on that sax as well.
