Biography
Anthony Joseph Sciacca, known as Tony Scott, was born on June 17, 1921, in Morristown, New Jersey. He began singing at age seven and studied at the Juilliard School before transitioning into jazz. Scott's early career included performances at Mintonâs Playhouse and collaborations with Buddy Rich, Ben Webster, and Duke Ellington. Scott led his own groups starting in 1953, accompanying artists like Harry Belafonte and Billie Holiday. He gained recognition for his clarinet work, winning four Down Beat polls. In 1957, he toured Europe and Africa, and by 1959, he had moved to the Far East, performing and teaching jazz in countries like Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. His album Music for Zen Meditation (1964), featuring traditional Japanese instruments, became a bestseller and introduced him beyond the jazz scene. Scott later settled in Rome, Italy, where he continued to perform and record until his death on March 28, 2007.
