Notes

\\n
• I first heard about Hazel Scott while reading Rad American Women from A to Z to my daughter. It\'s a wonderful book. You should buy it for any kid in your life.
\\n
• I read a lot about Hazel, but Karen Chilton\'s biography, Hazel Scott: A Pioneering Jazz Pianist from Cafe Society to HUAC was essential.

Music

\\n
• Starts with Christope Beck and DeadMono\'s theme to Charlie Countryman.
\\n
• Prelude for HS by Hakon Stene.
\\n
• Tezeta (Nostalgia) from Malatu Astatke, from Ethiopiques vol. 4, one of my favorite pieces of music in the world.
\\n
• Marian Lapansky plays Camille Saint-Saens "Le Sygne."
\\n
• Which fights with Piero Umiliani\'s Danza Primitiva.
\\n
• Warren Ellis rounds it out with his Lale\'s Theme from his terrific score to Mustang (which you should totally see).
