Tony Scott – Musc For Zen Meditation (LP Vinyl)

Jazz clarinetist Tony Scott had already logged time with Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker before recording this session in Japan, a career pivot that surprised the jazz world but reflected his longstanding interest in Eastern philosophy and music. Released on Verve, it stands as one of the earliest cross-cultural collaborations between a prominent American jazz musician and traditional Japanese instrumentalists, arriving years before such meetings became fashionable.
