Tom Scott is a talented conductor, arranger, composer and musician who has 26 solo recordings, 13 Grammy nominations, 3 Grammys, numerous film and television scoring credits and countless appearances on records by such diverse artists as Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Steely Dan, Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra. He is perhaps best known as the leader of the 1970s west coast jazz fusion ensemble, the L.A. Express.

Particularly noteworthy was Scott's support on Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark from 1973 (see 1973 in music). Not only did Scott play various woodwinds throughout the album, but he wrote many of the arrangements for the songs with Mitchell. He has a distinctive, often imitated sound and plays just about any woodwind as well as his main instrument, the saxophone.

Scott is a member of the Blues Brothers band.
