African-American blues saxophonist from the long-running animated Fox TV show The Simpsons. His character (voiced by Ron Taylor and Daryl L. Coley) was introduced in 1990. He penned the "I Never Had an Italian Suit Blues" and could be found at the Springfield club, The Jazz Hole.
He had one album in the late '50s or early '60s, Sax on the Beach, tragically the same title as a John Tesh release and appeared on The Cosby Show as one of the kids' many, many jazz-playing grandfathers.
