No, actually it is a DIFFERENT one. "Romances for Saxophone" with the
English Chamber Orchestra under Andrew Litton (CBS Masterworks MK
42122). Works by Ravel, Debussy, Faure, Satie, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky (The
Old Castle -- beautiful!), etc. But obviously the same sort of thing!

I do have a really nice Pete Fountain CD (I ripped it from a friend's LP)
in the truck now, but I certainly do not make an exclusive thing of
clarinet music. I do tend to greatly prefer instrumental music over vocal,
but anything from orchestra, concert band, organ, big band, small combo,
etc. is fair game.

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