LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT
EPISODES OF AMERICAN ROUTES WITH LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT
FROM THE SHOW: BIG VOICES
Singer Little Jimmy Scott possesses one of the great and distinctive voices in jazz. Kallmann's disease kept Scott's voice from dropping beneath a tenor, but he has used it to his advantage. He describes getting used to his own voice, and reminsces about how his career started in Cleveland, took shape in New York with the Lionel Hampton band, and was later revived with a call-in radio show in Newark.

BIG VOICES
American Routes belts it out in celebration of big voices. We'll sample three from across the musical board: the eerie smoothness of Little Jimmy Scott, an 79-year-old jazz singer who's recently been rediscovered; the crooning of country star Ray Price; and the gritty shout of Chicago blueswoman Koko Taylor.
