This is a public plea to all those jazz enthusiasts who love saxophone music and are relatively familiar with the artists involved. Partner Susan would like to know the name of the musician depicted in this piece of art. We are at our wits end for a name. – gc

I love sleuthing so Googled ‘jazz saxophone players who were dark glasses.’ There are a lot of stock photos out there so I am not sure if this is a particular jazz saxophonist or just a jazz player in general. Two that seem to wear sunglasses a lot, though, are Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Hope this helps, Gerry.

I was not much help, but I am sticking around to see if someone finds out who this might be.

Where did the dark glasses come from, Lois? Then again didn’t they all wear dark glasses back then?
Thank you for trying Lois, it’s appreciated. 🙂

The gentleman in the artwork has dark glasses on, so I just narrowed my search from ‘sax players’ to ‘sax players with dark glasses.’ I think it’s just a stock photo, but I would love to find out if it’s not!
Surprisingly, most of the photos of sax players did not have dark glasses? And I would have thought that the cool thing to do! Probably while I am not musically inclined…

I didn’t realise you were referring to the drawing. I thought you had conducted a search for the name of my black musician.
You’re right though, in all my searches none of the saxophonists wore sun glasses, yet whenever you see films and a jazz band is playing they always seem to be wearing them. Directors license! Thank you, Lois 🙂
