Friday 11.30.07: LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT @ Echoplex
Posted by mitchell - filed in eventsBillie Holiday often singled out Jimmy Scott as her favorite singer, and over the course of a long, circuitous career that dates back to his 1949 jukebox hit “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” (with Lionel Hampton’s big band), and a series of 1950s-’60s recordings for the Roost, Coral, Brunswick, and Savoy labels, Scott achieved notoriety as an R&B singer and pop balladeer. However, Scott himself took a much broader view of his talents, and always considered himself a jazz singer as well, a point driven home convincingly on his latest Milestone recital, But Beautiful.
