Well done with the form.  It's hard for me to make suggestions here because it reads like someone talking, so a lot of it could chalk up to their manner of speaking.

Always he returned to jazz
but the boys called him “saxo-phony”
cuz the way he bent that sax I tried thinking a way out of repeating sax
dipped and died, straight from the horn's jaw —
eating the air like an ATV
flings dirt behind its wheels. But you
gotta understand, he thought
he was the cat's pajamas, Inuit’s
igloos, bee's knees or
just plain cool as a Q- i appreciate the use of capitalization aesthetically throughout 
kumber. The way he made that horn weep —
lawless, he called it — full of gusto,
mayhem and not so original sin.
No one could blast it like Sam,
or wanted to. Except Sam Jr. That boy'd get all and the repetition of Sam here but Sam junior is his name
popsicle and library book
quiet, like he was standing in the Taj
right as his pop let loose. And I and repeating pop,- but I guess that's his dad
still don't understand, but oh
that boy wanted to play like Sam, pushing
ugly, twisted, torn and ruff.
Vicious how life
won't give nobody what they wanted.
X's and O's didn't go right in Jr.'s playbook, ya C. This line - it looks good, but hugs and kisses?
Yeah he ended up in and out of rehab, why have I heard this before (so many acquaintances)
zonked out and lousy, of all places, in Florida. You really make this flow so well to the end, quirky, understandable, and the form right under our noses.  
How about something like

Vicious how life
won't give nobody what they need, their
X's and O's.  Wouldn't go right in Jr's playbook, ya C.

I don't know,  thanks for sharing
