Hazel Scott and I have an indirect connection. She and I studied with the same teacher in Manhattan, Richard Mc Clanahan. Mr. Mac was not a jazz musician at all. He taught the classics, but he had a reputation for teaching the Tobias Matthay method of playing which helps pianists learn how to relax while playing for hours without causing muscle fatigue and injury. I only discovered his connection to Hazel Scott and other piano jazz musicians when I was conducting some research on Mr. Mac. That research led me to Dr. Billie Taylor, another jazz great, and eventually Hazel Scott. I studied with Mr. Mac in the 1960s. I can only imaging that Hazel went to his studio in the Steinway Building sometime in the 1940s. One biography says she made it to his studio at least twice a week. I'm making her known to my piano students! Hazel is phenomenal and I'm really glad to have come across this video, so thank you so much for creating it!

Here in 2024 Who Else?

I only heard about her from playing a video game, im glad to have found out about such an amazing person. As someone who has played music most of my life, it's sad I have been unaware of her for so long.

SHE WAS PRETTY!

Dont look now ,boys and girls, but if Trump gets eeelected the days of blacklisting will be makung a huge comeback

Hazel is related to my mother's Scott ancestors.

Hazel Scott, the Black genius who would not quit being herself.

Hazel Scott was THE most talented of all artists and yes, she was a musical genius from the age of THREE! Multi-faceted and beautiful to boot...there was simply nothing she could not do at the piano or in the world of music. To be accepted and enter Julliard at the age of 8 was unheard of. Their minimum age was SIXTEEN...but the talent & virtuosity she bore could not, and would not, be denied. I was too young to know her but when I first saw the film "Rhapsody in Blue" (1945) released a year before I was born...I sat upright and shouted at my TV screen: "WHOOOOO ARE YOU?" I came to know her musically and now, through the many people here on RUclips who loved her, I am fortunate enough to learn more about her. She was the toast of every town she performed in and I can hear, see and KNOW why. Thanks to Billy Holiday and Barney Josephson's Caberet, Cafe Society, in New York's Greenwich Village...it was the first integrated Caberet. The year was 1938 and a 19 year old Hazel Scott exploded onto the scene. During her illustrious career she refused to play to non-integrated audiences and refused to be pigeon-holed into demeaning roles on film. HUAC virtually ruined her career but Hazel Scott would find her musical world alive and well in Europe. in Paris, she was the toast of the city and their "Cade Society." Hazel Scott...a pioneer of many many colors!

I want to thank Burbank housing and also thank you you Ramsey, As one of the journeys in mobile home park owners, the Laurel, senior housing turned out beautiful and we’re so happy that everyone is happy with the place

She was another remarkable jazz performer ahead of her time. We will never have another one like her. The time and the era will always remind me of this great American Master who deserves more history supporting her incredible performances and the talent she gave us.

I was tickled pink to hear that Ms. Hazel Scott's mother, taught herself how to play the sax and joined Lil Hardin Armstrong's band. She's a remarkable icon too!

Excellent biopic!! My mother and aunt spoke about her fairly often to my siblings and me growing up. However, this info shared even more details. I took a Jazz class in college and in retrospect, I'm shocked (and dismayed) that she wasn't featured in that course. I was aghast with glee that Ms. Scott's entertainment contracts specified the types of roles she would play. I truly appreciate this video & it's narrator, Eve Goldberg. Ms. Scott (and her parents) reminded me of other relatives that immigrated from the West Indies and refused to be treated as less than, while holding their heads high. I admire that immensely, even when the impacts were detrimental. My brother suggested that I watch this video and I'm happy I did. The wonderful inspiration I received from it, will be everlasting.

Great work Eve! I love archives and librarians rock!

Thank you to everyone involved with preserving our county history.

I hate it when narrators talk through the music.....

Sounds like the Russian Bot lie...

Share this video with your friends and family. 👍🏽

Anyone from spiderman ??

Thank you. Really.

Not Oprah Hazel Scott 🎉🎉

Awesome and beautiful❤❤❤❤❤

Who got here cause spider man 2?

OMG, Towering, Super Gifted, a bio that needs to be spread across the world. The fact that her great talent and relentless work have been buried is story in an of itself. But her rise and unstoppable dignity are worthy of a bio (is there one?) film or TV series.

She is a knockout ❤!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. What a great talent and a greater human being to be able to stand up against the injustices of this world, no matter the consequences. A lesson for the next generation. These injustices has and will reoccur from time to time throughout our human history as long as there are fear minded people in position of power.

She was beautiful.

*Tim Scott could "take a Page out of her book"*

*HOW?????? and WHY?????? is this National Treasure not Lauded & Applauded in Society . . . . . the MERE FACT that she Stood Up for Herself, Stood Up for fellow African Americans, Stood Up Against Racism, Bigotry, Unfairness, should be on everyone lips TODAY but I bet you if she were a Thief, Drug Dealer/Drug Addict, Prostitute, etc it would've BEEN GOOD for "those folks"*

Great job, Eve Goldberg!

I’m thinking because she got blacklisted, she may not have died of cancer or her cancer wasn’t treated. It wouldn’t be the first time black people were given sub standard care, even someone as famous as Hazel. What a wonderful, talented, intelligent, beautiful woman to die so soon.😢

I’m here because of Spider-Man 2 but man I’m glad to hear about her story

😱

I’m here because of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s crazy they put her in the video game

Spiderman bring me here 🎉

Spider-Man 2 brought me here!

👽SHE'S MINE!!! She's one of the most SexXxiest Women I've ever seen... especially in the Style of Pianist♥️

Hazel was a member of the Baha'i Religion, the Baha'i Faith. The main theme is the Oneness of Humanity. This had a profound influence on her thinking and character. She was truly queenly.

This documentary is absolutely brilliant thank you so much for this amazing contribution!!!

Which cover of long river was this?

Thank you for sharing this beautiful content. Long live Hazel Scott. ❤

That’s what they tried to do!!! They did that because she stood up for her civil rights and she testified.❤

I think it's not strictly true that Hazel disappeared from the scene and is unknown today. I had her albums in the 70s and the guys in my jazz all knew her playing well. But at the time, we didn't know what tower of strength she was.

So beautiful and talented... Absolutely love her.

A pioneer a hero a world recognize activities of our little nation of the republic of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹🙏🏿

KANTELE on stand @ 8'13" = the National Instrument of Finland ! A unique conveyer-belt of existence, reaches to the otherworld, longlasting chordal projectiles, like a metaphysical transmitter from a personal soul to the unisoul - in unison. If you can play it. Suggest dig up a recent doc : MELVIN KANGAS (1933-2021) - the Kanteleman (very few views) 🇫🇮

ALDRICH was a mean director, a true rockefellerian ..."KISS ME, DEADLY" says it all .. a peckinpahian poet of violence.

@4:39 She's nasty on that piano! And she looks like Anita Baker to me at times.

Well done, Eve!! Thank you for presenting and making Hazel Scott known. ☺
