    A great collage of Hazel Scott's life and achievements. A fantastic human with so much accomplishment. Being a fan of Jazz it pains me how female artists are so easily forgotten. Thank you for your work on this project.

    Excellent documentary, excellent commentary. I didn't know that she wasn't American or how outspoken she was. Someone should make a film about her life. You've done a great job. I like the reason you started this channel.

      Thank you Elaine Clarke. Ms. Scott's life story is fascinating and definitely worthy of the silver screen.

    Please do a biography of Dorothy Donegan as well. Could you compare the professional lives and careers of the two?

    Your video provides a great overview of the life of a musical genius who also had a major influence on civil rights. Great job! Adding video of her performance was a nice touch!

    A phenomenal classically trained pianist but a victim of McCarthyism. Born with perfect pitch and enrolled into Julliard as a youngster

    She possessed such grace and class and like Lena horne, she would not accept demeaning roles as domestics in Hollywood films during the 40's and 50's.

    A wonderful pianist and performer who fell victim to American small-minded 'colour' ignorance.

    Hazel is even more fun to watch play than Chico Marx . Both bring a magic to the piano .

      @@neetrab What do you mean by that? Everyone who is some kin- does not mean they should be alike- necessarily.
