Anthony Joseph Sciacca, professionally known as Tony Scott, was a distinguished jazz clarinetist who in the 1950s helped steer his instrument out of the swing era and into the sax-infested waters of bebop. Not widely known to the American public partly because his eclectic style made him unclassifiable: over the years, he ranged through bebop and what today would be called New Age and world music and also because he roamed the globe, clarinet in hand, living mostly abroad since the late ’50s.
