tony scott- golden moments, and i'll remember - live at the showplace ,n.y.c aug 1959, flac and lame ( muse lp's 5230, and 5227)


Inspired by the response to the jimmy guiffre posts below.
Here are a couple of prized lp’s by tony scott another pioneering maverick clarinetist.
Scott was a musical nomad and amateur musicologist , who travelled the world playing music with people of different musical traditions.

This is an electrifying concert , and was as I understand his very last gig in the us, before leaving for south east Asia . and further travels in Africa, India and Europe.

Born in 1921, as a young man Scott who was (I think of Sicilian parentage) wound up making friends with and playing on 52nd street with everyone from Ben Webster, and Coleman Hawkins to Charlie parker and dizzy Gillespie, he’d studied as a youth with serial composer Stephan wolpe .

This concert is remarkable for its looseness , freedom and the raw expressive intensity of Scott's own very ecstatic delivery.
At times on the tracks ill remember April and walkin' there are dervish like wails , Scott drawing on middle eastern modal patterns.
Later of course he made some amazing early examples of what would these days be called world music fusion .

I’m no great fan of bill Evans (though I like him…who doesn’t at some level) his playing here is angular ,funky and the attack much more staccato than on his own classic records.
Scott recorded this himself and leased or sold the rights to muse in 1982, so the balance is far from perfect.
I love this concert!!


I think that golden moments( the 1st of these 2 discs ) may have been posted at orgy in rhythm about a year or so ago , this is the complete show.

Ill try to get some mp3’s up soon.
