Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1846. He wanted to create a link between woodwind and brass instruments in military bands, so he created what we now know as the alto sax. He didn't plan to make more, but somebody convinced him to create the full quartet, and the rest is history.
The alto saxophone has a neck, keys, and a bell. It is played through a reed, classifying it as a woodwind instrument rather than a brass instrument. It is smaller than a tenor saxophone and larger than a soprano saxophone, and the alto saxophone is the most commonly played saxophone in the world.
"Bari" sax (short for baritone, which is a vocal range, like soprano, alto, tenor, etc.) Stands probably about four feet tall, quite heavy. The baritone saxophone is the 2nd larges saxophone in the known saxophone world and is one of the hardest to play.
Possibly the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Formed in 1951 and still tours the world.
