Greetings, All:

I have a LOT of Artie Shaw records, and I must say that while he could play
the heck out of the clarinet, his sound was NOT all that great! I think
Artie could have sounded much better on a 60's or 70's R13! :-)

Artie Shaw used to get pretty good sound out of HIS Conn.

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