In 1950, pianist Hazel Scott hosted her own network show, The Hazel Scott Show. For 45 minutes every week, she played piano and interacted with her audience. It was the first TV show ever to be hosted by an African American, and it received outstanding ratings. Later that year, right-wing journal Red Channels put out a list of actors, musicians and others in entertainment industry suspected of being Communist sympathisers. The list included Leonard Bernstein, Orson Welles and Hazel Scott. She volunteered to testify before the House Un-American Activities and strongly criticised the blacklisting process. A week later, her talk show was cancelled and she moved to Paris. Here, she is performing "Takin' A Chance" in 1943. #jazz #jazzmusicbox #hazelscott #piano #jazzpiano #jazzarchives #jazzhistory #jazzvideo #jazzstandard #show #live #chance #leonardbernstein #orsonwelles #blacklivesmatter #music #musicvideo #legend #jazzlover #instagram #instamood #saturday #instagood #instamoment #paris #talkshow #performance #takinachance https://www.instagram.com/p/CUP09dQsSwW/?utm_medium=tumblr
