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."[1] 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.[2] 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 pastor de la AME, Scott pasó gran parte de su infancia en Nueva
Jersey, donde aprendió a tocar el órgano en las iglesias en las que
trabajaba su padre. Pronto ella misma actuó con frecuencia como
organista de coros juveniles y de gospel en la iglesia de su padre y en
otras. Scott estudió piano clásico, pero se centró en el órgano y acabó
obteniendo un máster en teoría musical en la Manhattan School of Music.
Por aquel entonces, un miembro del coro le pidió que actuara como
pianista de jazz en una pequeña banda. Como le gustaba la música, aceptó
quedarse en la banda con la condición de que le permitieran tocar el
órgano en lugar del piano. Eligió como instrumento el órgano Hammond y
pronto se convirtió en una destacada músico de jazz.
La primera
vez que Scott se sintió atraída por el órgano de la iglesia de su padre
fue a los siete años. "Es realmente el instrumento más bello del mundo",
declaró en una entrevista reciente. "Lo primero que hice fue quitarme
los zapatos y tocar los pedales". A partir de entonces siempre tocó el
órgano de la iglesia descalza, y hasta la fecha ha continuado con esta
práctica, lo que le ha valido apodos como "La dama descalza" y "La
condesa descalza". Siguiendo su ejemplo, muchos otros intérpretes de
música popular para órgano también tocan descalzos. Sin embargo, debido a
su formación eclesiástica, Scott utiliza los pedales para tocar una
auténtica línea de bajo, a diferencia de muchos otros organistas de
jazz, lo que le permite utilizar la mano izquierda para un trabajo de
acordes más elaborado
