Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on September 16, 1940)

Happy birthday to the legendary Hamiet Bluiett! Whether you're blowing minds with your saxophone solos or charming ears through The Clarinet Family, you've always hit just the right note. Your music has been timeless—much like your ability to juggle multiple instruments without missing a beat.

From founding groundbreaking ensembles like the World Saxophone Quartet, to pioneering new sounds in jazz clarinet back in the '80s, you've consistently shown us that musical boundaries are meant for breaking. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy and applause as every unforgettable performance you've given us so far. Keep swinging!
