Hazel Scott As Herself

Jazz pianist Hazel Scott in a scene from director Irving Rapper's film 'Rhapsody In Blue.'

Pianist and singer Hazel Scott was born in Trinidad a century ago, in the summer of 1920. Scott is well-remembered for her sparkling piano technique, as well as her style - but her biography reveals a powerful character with a rich and layered life behind the glamour.
