There was an article I read sometime ago (I think it might have been
in Chuck Jones's autobiography) that Scott was experimenting with a
new form of jazz in the late '30-early '40 (think a precursor to
Herbie Hancock's Headhunters album, or most compositions by Philip
Glass and John Adams). Carl Stalling, (one of the house music
directors at Warner Brothers's so-called Termite Terrace (aka the
animation studios) heard that music, and the rest, they say, is history.

BTW, Isadore "Friz" Freleng, one of the directors of the Looney
Tunes, always did his storyboarding on music manuscript paper, at
least according to Chuck Jones in his autobiography.
