Soul patch

Soul patch

The soul patch is a small patch of facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin. It came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was a style of beard common among jazzmen. It became popular with beatniks, artists, and those who frequented the jazz scene and moved in literary and artistic circles. Jazz trumpeters in particular preferred the soul patch for the comfort it provided when using a trumpet mouthpiece [Maggin, Donald L.: "Dizzy: The Life and Times of John Birks Gillespie". HarperCollins, 2005.] The soul patch was also made famous by Frank Zappa.Fact|date=August 2008
