The Honeysuckle Breeze is the debut album by American jazz saxophonist Tom Scott featuring performances recorded in 1967 for the Impulse! label.[1]

Parts of the saxophone solo in "Today" were sampled in "They Reminisce Over You," by jazz rap duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth, off their critically acclaimed 1992 album Mecca and the Soul Brother.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 1½ stars stating "The dated effects, weak material, and the brevity of the performances make this a rather forgettable commercial record. Only of historical interest".[2]
