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.

Although the saxophone was originally intended for use in orchestras, it was quickly adopted by bands who performed the newer musical styles that began to emerge in the twentieth century. Jazz, in particular, utilized the saxophone quite readily. Both the saxophone as an instrument, and jazz as a musical form, were developed through the blending of several different styles. The similarities in their backgrounds may have something to do with their obvious suitability.
