Male saxophonist amazingly earned around million (7)

I believe the answer is:

reedman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'male saxophonist' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'amazingly earned around million' is the wordplay.
'amazingly' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'million' becomes 'm' (abbreviation).
'earned' is an anagram of 'reedan'.
'reedan' placed around 'm' is 'REEDMAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
