Listen to some VERY early Benny Goodman -- he did it a lot in the early
years (1920's-1935). I believe it is usually achieved by essentially
humming or singing while you play. It results in a rough, "growly" tone,
useful as a jazz inflection.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
