slightly OT: tony scott
D.Onstenk
plays Music for Yoga and Zen Meditation (quite convincingly IMHO). I still
think they are great and very relaxing.
What records feature Tony as a jazz player and whatever happened to him?

Tony Scott appears on over 150 sessions between 1945 and the present
with just about all the greats from Billie Holiday to Charlie Parker
to Ben Webster to Bill Evans. Guitar-wise, folks who have worked with
him include Kenny Burrell, Barry Galbraith, Mundell Lowe, Attila
Zoller, Jan Akkerman, and Bill Frisell.
He is still playing - I heard him for a week last spring at Iridium in
NYC with Buddy DeFranco, Perry Robinson, Don Byron, Marty Ehrlich,
Kenny Davern, and Ron Odrich all playing clarinets and rhythm section
of Bill Mays, Martin Wind, and Matt Wilson. Tony lives in Rome.

him?
There's some stuff with the early Bill Evans which has been reissued,
Golden Moments - interesting, but I find Tony gets a bit hysterical when
the heat is on. My favourite is the album he did for Sunnyside in 1959,
Sung Heroes (don't know if that's been reissued). You can find all the
gen at http://www.allmusic.com/.

Thanks for the link to Scott's official website- I didn't know such a
thing existed!
Scott (real name Anthony Sciacca) was also a big champion of Dick
Garcia, and he featured him on "Both Sides of Tony Scott" on one side.
The other side features Mundell Lowe, who pales in comparison (never
share the stage or record with someone who can blow you away!)
Scott also plays on "Message From Garcia" under the name
A.J.Sciacca, which was Bill Evans' first record.
One of my old college instructors, a brother of Richard Gephardt,
Don, told me a story about one of his friends who studied clarinet
with Tony.
He was waiting for his lesson and he heard Tony starting to
improvise.
He knocked on the door, but Tony just kept blowing louder and louder
sounding like a madman.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, so he opened the door to find
Tony getting a blow job from some chick while he was improvising on
the clarinet- he wanted to find out the relation between orgasm and
improvisation!
