I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I sat with Tom for 1 hr. I was 1st chair tenor in high school. I played this tune with him in 1980.. I think.
I was in the audience in Zurich, Switzerland in the mid 80's, the series was called "Jazz-In" for Swiss TV. I was lucky enough to watch rehearsals too. A local musician (this time Francis Colleta on guitar) was allowed to put his dream band together and in 2 days they would put together a set of live music. I got to meet Joe Sample and Alex Acuna, both very friendly, Tom Scott was a real ballbuster to Wolfgang Schmid (b)....thanks so much for posting this - any more of the same show?
@aihoschema I am a former touring sax player and I'm not afraid.....Tom Scott Rocks! - Always Has!... No he's not Brecker, Sanborn, or Coltrane, but then again he's not Kenny G either. I think he is fantastic and has been for years.
Is that Joe Sample on the keyboards? Looks very much like him, one of my all time fav pianist/keyboarders. Tom Scott is a wonderful sax player. I guess he fell a little into the mainstream reputation. Each time I mention Ton Scott to a musician (especially a sax player) thet throw someone "better" back at me. Looks like it's uncool to like Tom Scott. Well I'm uncool, it figures ;-) Thanks for posting this. Fantastic music!

"Luckiest in the world?"
Okay. You don't get out, much: do you?
He’s the number one influence on my playing.

Tom's a master. Not many like him. I'm not a great fan of the idiom but I can listen to Tom anytime. The BEST!
the only thing u can do while watching him is admire his work.... legend...
In 1983 on the digitally live to two track recorded album Target. This is the title track Target from that Atlantic album.

Oh - and I didn't hear him miss a thing. He hears it, he plays it.
A better version of this from 20 years earlier.
