Montreal Jazz buffs were treated to a high octane, fuel injected saxophone blowout at their Jazz mainstay, Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill. Part of a concert series also featuring drummer Jimmy Cobb, the Chateauguay Tenors play host to New York baritone genius Gary Smulyan. This excerpt is from the closing number, a rollicking, lumbering blues.
The pieces is framed by Al McLean's comical presentation of his 'shrunken bari', and some great banter about saxophone envy. The 1922 Conn curved soprano is a fabulous foil to Cameron Wallis and Gary Smulyan's massive baritone sounds. Finally, McLean pulls out an actual baritone sax, and competes with his stage mates.

Crazy to think those two saxes actually sound within 2 octaves of each other.

[@lawrencemuller8972]

Not quite so. It would be the case if it were a sopranino, but this is a soprano.

[@lukasalihein]

@@lawrencemuller8972 The difference between a Bb Soprano and an Eb Baritone is an octave and a fifth, within 2 octaves, as I said. Am I missing something?

[@lawrencemuller8972]

You are right. Within two octaves. I had read read "two octaves". Sorry.

[@lukasalihein]

@@lawrencemuller8972 No worries :)

Honey I shrunk your sax.
