Tony Scott - Music for Zen Meditation 1964 Rem.1997 TQMP FLAC

Original Rip and infosheet by Carlo2008 on demonoid. Many thanks!

"In the late 1950s, jazz clarinetist Tony Scott traveled through Asia, settling for five years in Japan to play and teach. While his music influenced the Japanese musicians and students he encountered, the music and ambience of Japan made an ... Full Descriptioneven deeper impression on him. He began to use his clarinet to imitate the sounds of nature, and started a lifelong investigation into Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies.

The first tangible result of this exploration is the 1964 release MUSIC FOR ZEN MEDITATION, arguably the first "new age" recording. This is very simple, uncluttered music; the minimal melodic tension draws the listener into the present moment. Scott's clarinet blends beautifully with bamboo flute and Japanese zither, creating a sound both heady and earthy, the perfect embodiment of the Zen philosophy.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.
This is part of the Verve Master Editions series.
Recorded in Japan in February 1964.

Personnel: Tony Scott (clarinet); Shinichi Yuize (koto); Hozan Yamamoto (shakuhachi)."
