"Jazzman" is a 1974 song performed by Carole King, from her album Wrap Around Joy. King provided the sheet music for the song, while David Palmer wrote the lyrics.
The song is best known for its lengthy saxophone solos, performed by Tom Scott, while King sings an ode to "the Jazzman" and the effect he has on her.
The single quickly rose to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1974 [1]. The B-side of the "Jazzman" single was "You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine."
"Jazzman" was prominently featured in the Simpsons episode "'Round Springfield", in which Lisa Simpson sings the Carole King part, while her friend Bleeding Gums Murphy plays the saxophone.
