HAZEL SCOTT by Karen Chilton AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE review: "Author Karen Chilton narrates the life of classical pianist, singer, and actor Hazel Scott—from her Trinidad and Tobago roots to the Juillard School of Music, and on to Hollywood. Chilton's calm, eloquent tone replicates Scott's 1940s musical style. Chilton’s soft, melodious voice captures ...the listener’s attention with its hypnotic stillness. This performance invokes the memories of smoked-filled jazz clubs and the Hollywood glam of the era."

HAZEL SCOTT by Karen Chilton In celebrating Hazel Scott this month, Art Tatum must be added to the mix. The man who taught her his exquisite rendition of "Tea of Two," who showed up at her mother's house and was always met with fine Trinidadian cooking and always a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, the father-figure whom she affectionately called "P...apa Daddy," is remembered in this terrific piece on Jazz Profiles hosted by Nancy Wilson.
