Dirty Old Man - Tom Scott & The LA Express (Drum Cover)

Thomas Wright Scott (born May 19, 1948) is an American saxophonist, composer, and arranger. He was a member of the Blues Brothers and led the jazz fusion group L.A. Express.

The original lineup of the LA Express included bassist Max Bennett, drummer John Guerin, guitarist Larry Carlton, and keyboardist Joe Sample (the latter two were also members of the group The Crusaders). They recorded the album Tom Scott and The L.A. Express, as well as a number of tracks on Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark album in 1974 with this lineup, before both Carlton and Sample left the group. Robben Ford replaced Carlton as guitarist and Larry Nash took over as the group's keyboardist.

After attending a Joni Mitchell concert in London in April 1974 and being impressed by the sound of her backing band, George Harrison invited the group to his home at Friar Park, where they recorded the basic tracks for "Hari's on Tour (Express)" and "Simply Shady", which were released in December of that year as the first and second tracks, respectively, on Harrison's Dark Horse album.

The group recorded their first album without Scott in 1976 – the self-titled L.A. Express, which had as cover art a close-up of a belt buckle embossed with the band's name (simply "L.A. Express"), similar to one reading "Tom Scott & the L.A. Express" which was worn by a model on the cover of their first album with Scott. Later in the same year they recorded Shadow Play, which included several popular jazz tracks played on jazz radio well into the early 1980s.

Bluestreak is an album by Jazz/Fusion band Tom Scott and The L.A. Express released in 1996.
