Jazz lover Moira Stuart explores the lives and music of some of the most influential women of jazz. Along with some great music, this series also focuses on how some of Moira's favourite female jazz vocalists used their fame and notoriety to push social and musical boundaries, and to fight injustice and prejudice.
Programme three looks at the life and career of jazz singer and entertainer Adelaide Hall. Joining Moira is historian and writer Stephen Bourne, who wrote the biography Sophisticated Lady: A Celebration of Adelaide Hall, and we hear the singer herself in recordings from the archive.
A central figure in the great resurgence of African-American music that began in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Adelaide performed with Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Fats Waller. We'll hear how Adelaide started out in music, and then settled in London to become one of Britain's best-loved entertainers.
