Sinossi: Tracciando il percorso da Anthony Joseph Sciacca a Tony Scott, Maresco inizia a seguire, grazie a numerose testimonianze, la parabola del “più grande clarinettista del mondo”. Figlio di emigrati siciliani, diplomato alla Juilliard School, la strada del jazz per Tony Scott sembra lastricata di grandi collaborazioni – Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker e Bill Evans – ma presto l’ascesa si interrompe e il musicista decide di trasferirsi in Italia. Nonostante le apparizioni televisive, partecipazioni a film di Glauber Rocha e sodalizio con Romano Mussolini, la scelta segnerà per il clarinettista il suo tramonto artistico.
