Clarinetist Tony Scott was a tireless explorer of jazz and world music traditions, constantly seeking connections between jazz and African, Asian, and Middle Eastern musics. This 1996 recording pairs jazz improvisation with African traditional music, creating genuine musical dialogue rather than simple fusion. Scott's clarinet engages with African rhythms and melodies, finding common ground between jazz's sophisticated harmonic language and African music's rhythmic and melodic traditions. The result honors both traditions while creating something entirely fresh. It's world jazz at its best: curious, respectful, and musically adventurous. Essential for anyone interested in jazz's global conversations and cross-cultural musical exchange.
