Tony Scott (born Anthony Joseph Sciacca; June 17, 1921[1] – March 28, 2007)[2] 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.
