Stanley "Buzz" Brauner (March 1, 1930 – January 31, 2001)[1][2] was an American jazz instrumentalist and New York City studio musician who played saxophone, flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, recorder, and many other woodwind instruments. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1930, he toured the United States from 1945 to 1959 with bandleaders including Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Art Mooney, Ted Lewis, Richard Maltby, Buddy Morrow, and Les Elgart, except for a brief service in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956.[3][4][5]
Leaving the road in 1959 for work in New York City, Brauner played in the bands for The Merv Griffin Show and The Tonight Show. He appeared in many Broadway shows including Hello, Dolly!, 1776, and A Chorus Line.[6][7][8][9][10] He recorded records with notable artists such as Harry Chapin, Nat King Cole, and Barbra Streisand as well as played on many radio and television commercials.[11]
His career was cut short by complications of Parkinson's disease, forcing him to retire in 1983 until his death in 2001.[12][13]
