Tony Scott

Tony Scott (born June 17, 1921, Morristown, New Jersey, USA - died March 28, 2007, Rome, Italy) was an American jazz clarinetist, band leader and arranger.

He performed with Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Harry Belafonte among others. His first wife was Fran Scott (c.1950-1960). He emigrated to Italy in the early 1970's. He also made an approach to Asian cultures and meditation music, apparent e.g. from his 1964 album Music For Zen Meditation And Other Joys, considered by some the first “New Age Music” manifesto.
