Shows how much THEY knew. If you don't want to play JAZZ, what's the POINT
of taking up the SAXOPHONE? DUH! (Exaggerated, but only slightly, for
emphasis.) I know I picked up saxophone on my own almost solely for the
purpose of playing big band music, although I also play concert music, pit
bands, etc.

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