In this fascinating biography, Karen Chilton traces the brilliant arc of the gifted and audacious pianist Hazel Scott, from international stardom to ultimate obscurity. A child prodigy, born in Trinidad and raised in Harlem in the 1920s, Scott's musical talent was cultivated by her musician mother, Alma Long Scott as well as several great jazz luminaries of the period, namely, Art Tatum, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday and Lester Young. Career success was swift for the young pianist---she auditioned at the prestigious Juilliard School when she was only eight years old, hosted her own radio show, and shared the bill at Roseland Ballroom with the Count Basie Orchestra at fifteen. After several stand-out performances on Broadway, it was the opening of New York's first integrated nightclub, Café Society, that made Hazel Scott a star. Still a teenager, the "Darling of Café Society" wowed audiences with her swing renditions of classical masterpieces by Chopin, Bach, and Rachmaninoff. By the time Hollywood came calling, Scott had achieved such stature that she could successfully challenge the studios' deplorable treatment of black actors. She would later become one of the first black women to host her own television show. During the 1940s and 50s, her sexy and vivacious presence captivated fans worldwide, while her marriage to the controversial black Congressman from Harlem, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., kept her constantly in the headlines. In a career spanning over four decades, Hazel Scott became known not only for her accomplishments on stage and screen, but for her outspoken advocacy of civil rights and her refusal to play before segregated audiences. Her relentless crusade on behalf of African Americans, women, and artists made her the target of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) during the McCarthy Era, eventually forcing her to join the black expatriate community in Paris. By age twenty-five, Hazel Scott was an international star. Before reaching thirty-five, however, she considered herself a failure. Plagued by insecurity and depression, she twice tried to take her own life. Though she was once one of the most sought-after talents in show business, Scott would return to America, after years of living abroad, to a music world that no longer valued what she had to offer. In this first biography of an important but overlooked African American pianist, singer, actor and activist, Hazel Scott's contributions are finally recognized.…

Condition: new. Pages: 24 Language: Russian, English. Jazz is the music of big cities. Megapolises are swarming with jazz-clubs. Festivals of jazz music last for many days. Jazz faculties are organized in the music colleges. However, there are some exceptions, such as the old Tikhvin town, whose fame in the music world is connected with the name of N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, who was born there. It looks rather curious, but this cosy town became the place, where the noteworthy jazz festival is held annually. It welcomes guests from Moscow, Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, Vologda and even New York. The pianist Igor' Volodin is among the ones, who organize this event. Frankly speaking, the festival itself became possible due to the true staunch jazz quartet, founded by Volodin himself together with saxophonist Vasily Katyshev. The Tikhvin quartet is brought up to the mark so as to match with numerous Moscow and Petersburg bands. Thus you see Tikhvin is filled with jazz music, it has performers and composers. This collection proves the mentioned situation. The compositions by Volodin, forming the represented edition, are the greatest part of the Tikhvin quartet's stock. Sometimes they are constructed as the melodies-themes with harmonic symbols (according to the jazz traditions), sometimes the piano score is introduced. Such themes have the chance to be borrowed by professional or amateur ensembles, for they have imbibed standard jazz rules. The piano scores are much more complicated. However, having deciphered them you'll be struck by exquisite wrought harmony fluctuations, peculiar to Volodin, his striving for vertical constructions and polyrhythmical dramaturgic sense. I'd called his pieces the preludes, for they are quite accomplished compositions, useful for students at the lessons of jazz and variety music. The composer's pieces are rather refined for to stick in jazzmen's minds. Nevertheless, Volodin managed to blend with the personalities of the romantic jazz piano branch, deriving from Billie Evans, Herbie Hancock and Kenny Kirkland.
