Adolphe Sax, (born November 6, 1814, Dinant, Belgium—died February 7, 1894, Paris, France), Belgian-French maker of musical instruments and inventor of the saxophone.
Hit on the head with a brick. Swallowed a needle. Drank sulfuric acid. Fell face-first on a searing skillet. These were just a few near-misses in the life of Adolphe Sax, an incredibly accident-prone child who was born in Belgium in 1814 and one of 11 children in his family to make it to puberty (barely.
Highly ambitious and creative, the man who invented the saxophone’s improvements on the classic instruments of yore ruffled the feathers of more traditional musicians. As such, the saxophone did not, as Sax had dreamt, make it into the orchestras of his time.
The man who invented the saxophone is remembered for many things: his confidence, his orneriness, but most of all, by his namesake. The saxophone forever changed music, becoming the enfant terrible of jazz and blues and an unmissable part of orchestras and jazz bands.
