Not a great fan of the instrument,but it has its moments!! The soaring alto-sax solo in Gallagher & Lyle"s "Heart in New York" as sung by Art Garfunkel is quite beautiful, for me, and a few years ago I shared a CD of Gregorian Chant intermingled with saxophones, & that was pretty impressive too !! My much-missed friend,the late Jon Hayward, gave me, not long before he died, a CD of himself,playing the music of Turlough O'Carolan along with Alistair Gillies on sax, & it actually works quite well.But I can"t STAND the thing in a dance,or military, band !!! Sorry !
