Once upon a time on the Simpsons?

Question

The episode was one that focused on Lisa and her friend the african american jazz sax player. I belive it was the end of the show, after the sax player died Lisa stood on a bridge and played a song on her sax. I've heard it was a song Kenny G also plays, and was wondering if anyone knew the name of it.

Answer 1

It's a song by Carole King called "Jazz Man".
At least I think that's the one you mean.
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman.

When the jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees.
It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide,
a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified.

Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain
the same as yours with every change you play.
Jazzman, oh jazzman.

When the jazzman's signifyin', and the band is windin' low.
It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul.
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears.
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near.

Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain
the same as yours with every change you play.
Oh lift me, won't you lift me with ev'ry turn around.
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman.

Answer 2

I don't think Kenny G had anything to do with it, but what do I know? I don't listen to his music nor pay attention to anything he does. But I don't think the Simpsons' producers would give Bleedy Gums Murphy a send-off with a song that was parodied.
