Ahhh, the Saxophone. That sultry wail on a mist-ridden street, the seductive tones of Kenny G, and the rich warm sound of a jazzy riff.

From professional musicians like the jazz legend Johnny Hodges, to Bill Clinton, the former president of the United States, the Saxophone knows no boundaries of class or race. If you’ve never really taken the time to enjoy the beautiful music of this instrument, Saxophone Day is your time to indulge.

History of Saxophone Day

The Saxophone is a woodwind instrument that was developed by a second generation Belgian instrument designer by the name of Adolphe Sax in 1846. His goal was to create the most powerful and adaptable brass woodwind instrument to fill the perceived gap between their respective sections. While it was initially developed to be used in classical music, the diversity of the saxophone has found its way into just about every type of music you can imagine.

From its creation, there have been multiple derivations of the saxophone, from the Alto (being the most common) all the way up the scale to the Sopranissimo (a very high pitched instrument) all the way down to the Subcontrabass (the deepest throated of the saxophones). Though developed to be the balancing point between brass and woodwind instruments, the saxophone is classified, officially, as a woodwind.

How to Celebrate Saxophone Day

For most people the best way to celebrate saxophone day is merely to indulge in the broad range of music that the saxophone has contributed to. Rock out to the great classic rock sounds of Huey Lewis and the News’s – I want a new drug, or groove the night away with some classic Kenny G. If you want to go really old-school, dig deep into the history of music and listen to L’Arlesienne Suite No. 1 & Suite No. 2 by Bizet, a fantastic example of the solo power of the sax in classical works.

For those more adventurous and musically inclined, take this opportunity to pick up this most beautiful of the woodwinds, and start practicing. Whether you aspire to the richness of classical music, or the sultry seductive tones of modern Jazz, the Saxophone is definitely the instrument to take you there. Saxophone Day is the day you can embrace your creative artist side, and dive into the world of musical art.
