# CD review: Hazel Scott – Great Scott! Collected Recordings 1939-57 – 2023: Video, CD cover - Link: https://jazzblues.eu/2023/04/13/review-hazel-scott-great-scott-collected-recordings-1939-57-2023-video-cd-cover/ - Published: 2023-04-13T00:04:47+01:00 - Author: https://JazzBlues.EU **Hazel Scott was a jazz pianist and singer, about whom we hear very little these, but who was a stylish and respected performer, especially known for her jazz interpretations of classical pieces and styles, but also a noted composer as well as a fine vocalist with a sophisticated approach to the Great American Songbook. ** This 69-track 3-CD collection brings together a significant proportion of her recordings during the primary era of her career, before she largely relocated to France in the wake of McCarthy-ite persecution as a committed civil rights activist. It features solo piano recordings, plus piano and vocal performances with small groups and orchestras, so offers an entertaining cross-section of her output for the Bluebird, Decca, V-Disc, Signature, Columbia, Capitol and Debut labels. It includes most of the titles from her albums “Swinging The Classics”, “A Piano Recital”, “ Great Scott”, “Grand Jazz”, “Relaxed Piano Moods” and “Round Midnight”, and features recordings with Charles Mingus, Max Roach, J.C. Heard, Sidney Catlett, Toots Camarata, Charlie Shavers, Ernie Caceres, Red Callender, Everett Barksdale and many others. It’s a substantial and enjoyable showcase for a talented artist whose work deserves a much higher profile than she has generally enjoyed. **DISC 1** 1 Calling All Bars Sextet of the Rhythm Club of London 2 Mighty Like The Blues Sextet of the Rhythm Club of London 3 You Gave Me The Go-By Sextet of the Rhythm Club of London 4 Why Didn’t William Tell?
