Jammin Jazz Man Sax PlayerJazz and MusicYour unique jazzman is belting out the blues with his jazz from the heart. He is approximately 9 inches tall and loves to have company. Make him yours today! Jazz History The history of the saxophone can be traced back over 150 years with a common lead, or graphite, pencil (actually, it takes several. One pencil is only good for tracing about 32 years). It was invented by and named for Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax, who invented the instrument to distract attention away from the fact that his name was Antoine-Joseph (Adolphe) Sax. And that name is even funnier if you pronounce the punctuation. Try it. Antoine hyphen Joseph parenthesis Adolphe end parenthesis Sax. Now, try singing it. Sax took the instrument to famed composer Hector "Boom Boom" Berlioz, who immediately recognized the new horn's magical ability to separate women from their undergarments. Berlioz encouraged Sax to move to Paris where he could use the new instrument to, in his words, "get his freak on."
