Thank you for sharing this historic recording. One day soon the saxophone will be featured more frequently with Orchestras around the world. Or at least that is my hope.
Vincent Abato, excellent American classical saxophonist, sounds wonderful. You can also find him on an old Nonesuch recording performing Ibert, and Glazounov.
Adam, and you told me Tru-Flex Bros, right? I recently got a Tru-Flex 3 and the baffle & chamber are different from a normal Meyer Bros...the closest thing I think is a close tip opening Reso Chamber by Otto Link, but it's still different...

THIS is classical alto. Bravo to the incomparable Mr. Abato.
Candidly, an incredible find (on an incredible day...)...
Excellent piece of saxophone history.
Vincent Abato is bravo.

What a rare, rare, rare, rare find ...
Is it true he recorded this playing on a Meyer??
Yes, Meyer Bros 3M, though... not a 5M like most pure jazz players (Phil Woods, Cannonball Adderley, etc) played.
