My uncle, George Braith, Jazz Saxophonist and inventor of the Braithophone, can be seen in a mosaic in New York City's new Second Avenue Subway at the 72nd Street Station. Uncle George is known for recordings on the Blue Note and Prestige labels during the sixties, and for playing jazz on the streets of NYC during the eighties - you could usually catch him on Avenue of the Americas and 42nd Street near Bryant Park. He was even captured in an opening scene of the movie Moscow on the Hudson doing what he does best.
