Summary

This documentary traces Hawaii’s Jazz scene through the prolific life of Betty Loo Taylor. Could a female Chinese-American pianist really play hot, swinging jazz with the big boys? Yes she could and 40 years later she is still busting the scene! “They Call Her Lady Fingers” won the Audience Award as Best Documentary at the 2003 Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF) and later was named 2006’s Best Music DVD at the Hawaii Music Awards. Come and share the legacy of Taylor from tangled family tree, to the ups and downs of a life on stage – the world-class musician, the philanthropist, the woman Betty Loo Taylor!
