This 3.3-second clip plays the famous seven-note jazz phrase known as The Lick on tenor saxophone, with a clear, warm tone and a rising-and-falling shape that musicians recognise instantly. It feels playful and knowing, like a wink to anyone who has heard it slipped into a solo. This saxophone rendition comes from a Wikimedia Commons recording.
