Searching for a manga about a young man who plays saxophone most likely from 80s-mid 90s. It is NOT Blue Giant. This is kind of unusual because I actually found images of this series and do not know it's source and have had no luck trying to find out what it is and I am extremely curious to know more about it. I was looking at a collection of set materials from the 1998 Trigun anime and included in the scans were 4 pages of a collage of panels from a manga primarily depicting a young man with a saxophone but there were also several Black characters and a young lady with short hair also shown playing/holding saxophones. Some of the panels show the young man performing with a band including a drummer and keyboard player. The artstyle is more towards the realistic side with the saxophones drawn with great detail. It reminds me stylistically of manga from the 80's and early 90's. One of the pages includes what looks like a chapter page with English text reading: SESSION 9 "GHOST OF A CHANCE"(Take 2). I used Google Translate's phone app photo translation tool to try and translate the Japanese text that was visible in some of the panels but the image was too low quality for it to recognize any of this text. There was a hand written note on all 4 manga collage pages that the translator was able to see clearly enough to translate that roughly said "Midvalley Saxophone Reference." The 3 pages before this in the collection of scanned set materials are of the character Midvalley the Hornfreak and his saxophone and they are all dated 1998, so this manga could not have come out anytime after that. I can provide links to website where I found these set materials.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask for this kind of help finding a series but I wasn't really sure where to go and had success here many years ago looking for something so thought it was worth a shot. Thank you in advance for any help.
