Answer to “wind instrument commonly used in jazz” in Cookie Jam

Just when I thought I was in the clear after tackling “prank or magic,” and “brown fruit with a sweet and sour taste”, which were pretty tricky, this next one popped up. It’s always the long words that stress me out, like I’m going to misspell something or accidentally tap the wrong letter. And on top of that, you have to play through a bunch of rounds just to get the full answer. So without further ado, here it is:

1. Wind instrument commonly used in jazz – saxophone

There are tons of instruments tied to jazz, but let’s be real – when most people think of jazz, the saxophone is probably the first thing that comes to mind. Sure, other wind instruments like the clarinet or flute show up too, but the sax always takes the spotlight. Then you've got the trumpet and trombone (those are brass), plus the double bass, piano and a solid drum set.

That combo – winds, brass, rhythm – is the heart of jazz. But take the saxophone out of the picture, and something just feels missing. It’s not just an instrument in jazz; it’s the voice of the genre.
