I know of one tenor player, Bill Holloman, who plays for the Gatlin
Brothers (?) or somebody, among other things, and acts as a clinician and
demonstrator for L.A. Sax. He has an impressive facility in the altissimo
register of the sax, with remarkably good intonation. Can't say how high
he actually goes, though.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
