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.

[2] This led to his playing in a Hindu temple, spending time in Japan, and releasing Music for Zen Meditation in 1964 for Verve Records.

In 1960 a DownBeat poll for Japan saw readers there name him best clarinetist[8] while the United States preferred Buddy DeFranco.

He settled in Italy in the 1970s, working with Italian jazz musicians such as Franco D'Andrea and Romano Mussolini.
