Reissue, originally released in 1996. Tony Scott (born Anthony Joseph Sciacca June 17, 1921 - March 28, 2007) was an American jazz clarinetist and arranger with an interest in folk music around the world. For most of his career he was held in high esteem in new-age music circles because of his involvement in music linked to Asian cultures and to meditation. Tony performed with many stars as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Harry Belafonte and before moving to Italy in the early '70s he just cut two sought after masterpiece moving forward from his early idea of bop and cool jazz. In particular Djanger Bali (Saba, 1967) -- recorded with The Indonesian All Stars -- and the self-titled Tony Scott (Verve, 1968) -- featuring Richard Davis on bass, John Berberian on oud and Attila Zoller on guitar -- set the pace for a revolution in terms. This set recorded in Africa around the mid-90s is a pure rhythm festival pushing the boundaries of his Afro fusion agenda.
