Wikipedia / George Braith

George Braith (born George Braithwaite on June 26, 1939) is a soul-jazz saxophonist from New York.

Career

Braith is known for playing multiple horns at once, a technique pioneered by Roland Kirk. He is credited with the invention of the Braithophone, a welded-together alto and soprano saxophone.

Braith is featured in a mosaic in the 72nd street station of the Second Avenue Subway in the New York City Subway system.
