Biography

Jazz saxophonist George Braith developed a unique, two-horn playing technique in the early 1960s, releasing a number of solo albums with Blue Note and Prestige Records along the way. Born in the Bronx, New York, on June 26, 1939, he was a professional musician by his teenage years. His self-made double horn, dubbed the Braithophone, allowed him to play two tenor saxophones at once, and Braith's inventive approach the jazz landed him a record contract with Blue Note, who released his Two Souls in One debut in 1963. Albums like Extension and Musart followed. Musart was also the name of an avant-garde jazz venue that Braith briefly operated in New York City during the late-1960s, before leaving America and relocating to Europe.
