About The Record:

The Touch of, is a series of musical numbers by Tony Scott. A review of this album by Scott Yanow in allmusic says, "This rare set features the cool-toned clarinetist Tony Scott with a big band on five numbers, heading a ten-piece band for three others and jamming with a quartet that also features the young pianist Bill Evans on the four remaining songs. The songs range from swing standards and the tongue-in-cheek Rock Me But Don't Roll Me to Aeolian Drinking Song and an original titled Vanilla Frosting On A Beef Pie. Musically, the performances are pretty modern for the period while never failing to swing. This LP is well worth searching for, as are most of Tony Scott's recordings of the 1950s."
