Hazel Scott • Round Midnight

 

Description from original Decca liner notes (Jazz Messengers / Amazon):
Though Hazel Scott (1920-1981) earned a great deal of her fame for swinging the classics from a red hot keyboard, her talents extended far beyond the realm of crass showmanship and she reached the other extreme, that of warm, delicate and intimate jazz playing. This album presents this lesser known side of Miss Scott's musical personality, and the resulting music creates a mood which is relaxing and richly romantic, particularly suited for 'round midnight.

Descripción de las notas del sello original Decca (Jazz Messengers / Amazon):
Aunque Hazel Scott (1920-1981) ganó gran parte de su fama haciendo swing con los clásicos desde un teclado al rojo vivo, su talento se extendía mucho más allá del ámbito del mero espectáculo, llegando al extremo opuesto: el de un jazz cálido, delicado e íntimo. Este álbum presenta este lado menos conocido de la personalidad musical de Miss Scott, y la música resultante crea un clima relajante y ricamente romántico, particularmente adecuado para la medianoche.
