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