    I love how saxophone is so versatile, it can sound so rough and jazzy, or smooth like cello

    he has the best tone quality i have ever heard on tenor, bari, and any saxophone. sounds like a flute, clarinet, or a stringed instrument most of the time, not a sax. i wouldnt be surprised if major orchestras hired him. he would blend with any instrument in a band or orchestra

      I've been listening live and in recordings, classical saxophone has always sounded like that. Composers and arrangers also separate them from the clarinet. What is impressive are the guys that can do glissando from up top and make it sound like a violinist doing glissando. As far as being hired by orchestra it just depends if they have pieces they are playing that require a saxophone. Ravel comes to mind. They are pretty inflexible and won't sub a sax for clarinet. But chamber music wise, they probably would revoice Cello compositions for him.
