    Tony Scott could then and can now literally play anything!  Even
dead
I'd put Tony up against any jazz player anywhere.

 Charlie, dunno if it's the same Tony we're talking about.  I think this
one is a different one than is normally recognized.  This guy was in
Europe in the early '70's, then went on to the middle east or somewhere
& got involved in some really weird music.  He had a shaved head, and
always, always wore an all black outfit.  Very showy guy, but he could
certainly play.  One of those guys where his instrument seems too small
for his talent.
