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 even 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.

Music For Zen Meditation And Other Joys Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Timeless Masterpiece
Although "Music for Zen Meditation (and other Joys)" was recorded nearly forty years ago, there simply is no way to know that by listening to it; you and the music exit here and now. I first heard this recording as ambiance for a yoga class I was taking; nothing could have been more appropriate. You don't have to sit in contorted positions or practice meditation to appreciate the calm well-being that you will enjoy listening to this music.
