A true Renaissance artist, steeped in both the jazz and classical traditions, she was equally at home performing with a small combo, a big band, or a full orchestrasometimes even playing two pianos simultaneously. This concert, part of a multi-event Washington Performing Arts centenary-plus-one celebration, features music Scott loved to perform plus other chestnuts from her eraincluding works by George Gershwin, Florence Price, and others.
