South Africa, 1957. Scott, Red Hot: He Played Blues For His Black Teacher. Tony Scott In Goodwill Lounge In Durban. Tony Scott, the great American jazz artist, refused to play to Whites only in South Africa. The 'King Clarinet,' Tony Scott, had just spent ten years touring South Africa, playing with the best of our jazz musicians: Africans in Jo'burg, Indians in Durban and Coloureds in Cape Town. And when he finally packed his bags onto the airplane for New York City, his home, at six o'clock one morning, he had long lists of names - African names, Coloured names, and Indian names - stuffed in his pockets. They were the names of new friends in South Africa.
