Hazel Scott as Herself

Fishko Files | May 18, 2010


Pianist and singer Hazel Scott is perhaps best remembered for her glamour.  Glamorous she was, but in this edition of Fishko Files (from January ’09). WNYC’s Sara Fishko explores a new book and an old CD that can help us go beneath the surface to Scott’s life and work.
