Tony Scott (born Anthony Joseph Sciacca; June 17, 1921 – March 28, 2007) was an American jazz clarinetist, arranger, composer, bandleader, saxophonist and piano player 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.
