Recorded During the Jazz Clarinetist's 1957 Tour of South Africa!
Live Jazz Album on Vinyl LP!
This is the incomparable Tony Scott, one of the greatest American jazz clarinetists of all time, caught while touring South Africa in 1957. The album sees Scott joining a local Marabi dance band called Alexandra Dead End Kids and playing live with his jazz quartet in front of hyper-enthusiastic crowds. It's great to hear his masterful clarinet splitting between the penny whistle sound of South African folk tunes and the virtuosity of a real jazz performance. This disc reveals Scott's great versatility, high spirit and deep love for music and people.
