Tom Scott With The California Dreamers ‎– The Honeysuckle Breeze (Reissue) (1967/2011) Lossless

The Honeysuckle Breeze is the debut album by American jazz saxophonist Tom Scott featuring performances recorded in 1967 for the Impulse!

Parts of the saxophone solo in "Today" were sampled in "They Reminisce Over You," by jazz rap duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth, off their critically acclaimed 1992 album Mecca and the Soul Brother.

Since he was a teenager, Tom Scott has been consistent, a talented multi-reedist with little or no interest in playing creative jazz. His mother was a pianist and father a composer. Scott early on became a studio musician and arranger. Able to play most reeds with little difficulty, Scott performed with the Don Ellis and Oliver Nelson bands, and his L.A. Express became one of the most successful pop-jazz groups of the 1970s. Associations with Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and George Harrison were just a few of his successful assignments in the pop world and, although his 1992 GRP release Born Again was surprisingly inventive, it was a one-time departure from crossover.
