Tom Scott, also known for playing the alto sax on the theme of the 1976 movie "Taxi Driver" wasn't satisfied with his activities with L.A. Express and released a solo album in 1975 titled "New York Connection"
Why this true LA native went to NY is a mystery, but as the title suggests, he gathered familiar East Coast gold saints like Steve Gadd, Ralph MacDonald, and Richard Tee. Additionally, Bob James, an unavoidable figure in NY at the time, participated on electric piano. Moreover, George Harrison showcased his slide guitar skills on B3 "Appolonia" Personally, the mellow tracks, including B3 and the title track, are the highlights of this album. Incidentally, A2 "Uptown And Country" was sampled in The Third Man's "This Pill" ('04).
