This post will be brief today, but important to all saxophone players. Today is the 202nd birthday of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. I won't bother to go into its history as it's already well known, but I can't let this day pass without acknowledging the man who created our favorite instrument. Happy Birthday Adolphe!! There must be one hell of a jam session going on where you are right now.
