Editing Sarrusophone (section)

===Jazz===
A very unusual example of the sarrusophone in [[jazz]] is on the 1924 recording by the [[Clarence Williams (musician)|Clarence Williams]] Blue 5 of "Mandy, Make Up Your Mind," with the sarrusophone played by the jazz soprano saxophone and clarinet virtuoso [[Sidney Bechet]]. One can conjecture that the sarrusophone played was most likely a contrabass with a single reed mouthpiece, as Bechet was not a trained double reed player. Bechet later denied having ever played the sarrusophone. According to the biography by Chilton, Sidney "pulled a face" when asked about the solo on "Mandy", though he did not deny playing it.

A soprano sarrusophone is seen and heard in the song "Humpty-Dumpty Heart" played by [[Kay Kyser]]'s band in the 1941 film ''[[Playmates (1941 film)|Playmates]]''.

In the 1970s and 1980s the American jazz musician [[Gerald Oshita]] (based in Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area and associated with [[Roscoe Mitchell]]) played avant-garde jazz on an EE♭ contrabass manufactured by Conn.  More recently (1990–2006), recordings using sarrusophone have been released by saxophonists [[Scott Robinson (jazz musician)|Scott Robinson]], [[Lenny Pickett]], [[James Carter (musician)|James Carter]], and [[Paul Winter]].
