notes

This DVD features jazz pianist Dorothy Donegan, who is primarily recognized for playing the boogie-woogie style of jazz, as well as being the protégé of, and successor to, Art Tatum. Known as a jazz pianist, her classical background and eclectic musical taste helped create an impressive and flamboyant live act that had the ability to engross any audience. Honed in Chicago's vibrant music scene, her act consisted of her splendid blend of jazz styles infused with pop, classical, ragtime, gospel, and vaudeville, among numerous other genres. Her irresistible charm, vicious sense of humor, spunky attitude, and daring musical prowess all played a role in her individual persona and career. 1 hour.
