• Though Hazel Scott (1920-1981) earned a great deal of her fame for swinging the classics(Liszt, Chopin, etc) from a red hot keyboard, her talents extended far beyond the realm ofcrass showmanship and she could successfully display the other extreme, that of warm,delicate and intimate jazz playing.

• This album presents this lesser known side of Miss Scott’s musical personality, and theresulting musiccreates a mood which is relaxing and richly romantic, particularly suited for ‘round midnight.

• Scott studied classical piano at Juilliard from the age of eight, but went on to become anattraction at jazz clubs in her late teens and twenties. She could also play bebop, blues andwas an able vocalist and published songwriter. In the 1930s she had her own radio showand appeared on Broadway; in the 40s she appeared in five movies including “Rhapsody inBlue”.

• This album features: Hazel Scott (piano solos with rhythm accompaniment), EverettBarksdale (g), Sandy Block (b), Jimmy Crawford (d). Recorded in New York City (1956-1957).
