The saxophone is a relatively recent instrument. In 1840, the Belgian inventor Antoine Joseph Sax mixed the single reed of the clarinet with the conical-shaped tube found in the oboe to construct the first saxophone. With this hybrid, he was able to produce a whole new range of sounds.

e developed through the blending of several different styles. The similarities in their backgrounds may have something to do with their obvious suitability.
The saxophone has served as an accompaniment in classical and popular music, and it has developed into one of the premiere solo instruments. In the sense that it has lent itself to the solo performance, it has helped to form the structure of current trends in musical performance. In the big band era of modern jazz the excitement of a singled-out saxophone performance developed into the trend that we now see carried over to the virtuoso guitar solo in rock and roll and other popular contemporary musical forms.
Today, performers such as Chuck Mangione and Kenny G. demonstrate the continued vitality of the saxophone as a premier solo instrument by consistently selling out performances and placing their performances high on the charts.
