Whatever happened to the saxophone in TV and films?

[En Sabah Nur]

That sexy ol saxophone was a staple back in the day...
Pretty much every show on TGIF had sax music in all the interludes, all the crime shows had junkies overdosing or people getting shot over Bleeding Gums Murphy notes, and it was all over the naked lady flicks
It seems to have vanished since though

Makes the scenes feel dated. Plus you have to pay an artist.

Production value is lower today as well.

There were wild sax solos all across that opening party in Babylon and if I recall, Hurwitz had the instrument as a mainstay in the score. Flick came out this past December.
