Shirley Scott Piano Jazz dips into the archives as we remember the late queen of the organ, Shirley Scott (pictured.) The native Philadelphian was known for her strong sense of swing and straight bebop playing.

Spalding shows off her dual talents on Lionel Hampton’s Midnight Sun and joins in with her pianist, Leo Genovese, to sing a tune that seems to be her motto: Jazz Ain’t Nothing But Soul.
