The daughter of an AME minister, Scott spent much of her childhood in
New Jersey, where she learned to play organ in the churches where her
father served. Soon she herself was serving frequently as organist for
youth and gospel choirs at her father's and other churches. Scott later
studied classical piano, but she concentrated on the organ, eventually
earning a Masters' degree in music theory from the Manhattan School of
Music. By this time she had been asked by a choir member to fill in with
a small band as a jazz pianist. Enjoying the music, she agreed to stay
on with the band on condition that she be allowed to play organ instead
of piano. Choosing as her instrument the Hammond Organ, she soon became a
preeminent jazz musician.
Scott was first attracted to the organ in her father’s church at age
seven. “It's really the most beautiful instrument in the world,” she
stated in a recent interview. “The first thing I did was take my shoes
off and work the pedals.” From then on she always played her church
organ in her bare feet, and to this date she has continued the practice,
earning her nicknames such as “The Barefoot Lady” and “The Barefoot
Contessa.” Following her lead, many other performers of popular organ
music now also play barefoot. Because of her church training, however,
Scott uses the pedals to play a genuine bass line, unlike many other
jazz organists, which allows her to use her left hand for more elaborate
chord work. The resulting music is an energetic fusion of musical
styles that partakes of jazz, gospel, and classical, reflecting both
Scott’s early experience and her formal training.
In 1967 Scott moved to France, where she has since spent most of her
career and earned recognition far greater than that accorded to her in
the United States, though she often performs in the latter country as
well.

//////////
Hija de un ministro de AME, Scott pasó gran parte de su infancia en
Nueva Jersey, donde aprendió a tocar el órgano en las iglesias donde su
padre servía. Pronto ella misma sirvió frecuentemente como organista
para coros de jóvenes y de gospel en la iglesia de su padre y en otras
iglesias. Más tarde, Scott estudió piano clásico, pero se concentró en
el órgano, y con el tiempo obtuvo una maestría en teoría musical de la
Escuela de Música de Manhattan. Para entonces, un miembro del coro le
había pedido que formara parte de una pequeña banda como pianista de
jazz. Disfrutando de la música, aceptó quedarse con la banda con la
condición de que se le permitiera tocar el órgano en lugar del piano.
Eligiendo como instrumento el órgano de Hammond, pronto se convirtió en
una destacada músico de jazz.
Scott fue atraída por primera vez al órgano de la iglesia de su padre a
la edad de siete años. "Es realmente el instrumento más hermoso del
mundo", declaró en una entrevista reciente. "Lo primero que hice fue
quitarme los zapatos y trabajar los pedales" Desde entonces siempre
tocaba el órgano de su iglesia descalza, y hasta la fecha ha seguido
practicando, ganándose apodos como "La Dama Descalza" y "La Condesa
Descalza". Siguiendo su ejemplo, muchos otros intérpretes de música
popular de órgano ahora también tocan descalzos. Sin embargo, debido a
su formación en la iglesia, Scott utiliza los pedales para tocar una
línea de bajo genuina, a diferencia de muchos otros organistas de jazz,
lo que le permite usar su mano izquierda para un trabajo de acordes más
elaborado. La música resultante es una fusión energética de estilos
musicales que participan del jazz, el gospel y el clásico, reflejando
tanto la experiencia temprana de Scott como su formación formal.
En 1967 Scott se mudó a Francia, donde desde entonces ha pasado la mayor
parte de su carrera y se ha ganado un reconocimiento mucho mayor que el
que se le otorgó en los Estados Unidos, aunque a menudo también actúa
en este último país.
