Funny thing, with all Tony's fame and clarinet artistry, there are no comments on the BBoard about him?
After emailing my friends and former students of Tony's passing, I received this email back from a great NYC woodwind doubler who knew Tony.
"Hi John,
Thanks for the email.
I used to hang out with Tony at the old Star Cafe, in my
neighborhood, long gone, when I first got to town and had nothing to
do. He was deep in a kind of weird way. Fun to play with. Thanks
for sending.
Andrew Sterman"

Official website Some good reading there.
Great clarinetist known to knock down walls with volume.
Recorded w/ Bill Evans in the '50's and made some great recordings as a leader.

The clarinettist with the Basie band is Buddy DeFranco, not Tony Scott. Buddy was a member of Count Basie's Octet around 1950. This group made some wonderful recordings, some of their performances also captured on film.

There are also other clarinetists with a huge influence, creativity, that even made new styles of music and opened ways to many other players, but are rarely ever mentioned on this board.

Perhaps you might name a few, and we can hear about some of these important players...
