Scarce 8 x 10 inch signed Bruno of Hollywood photograph of the American jazz and classical pianist and singer. Some staining and small surface tears and creases around the edges, otherwise fine.
Hazel Scott was an amazingly versatile performer, equally superb as a jazz and classical pianist and singer. She was featured in a number of major Hollywood films and was the first woman of color to have her own television show, The Hazel Scott Show. Her album Relaxed Piano Moods on the Debut Record label, with Charles Mingus and Max Roach, is generally the album most highly regarded by critics today. An outspoken critic of racial discrimination and segregation, she used her influence to improve the representation of Black Americans in film.
