Even Garritan JABB (of which I am a fan and supporter) doesn't do particularly well with saxophones. They have worked long and hard to get good samples, but I think we are used to hearing saxophones played with a higher level of personal nuance and expression on each note - dynamics, articulations, pitch bends, timbre changes, etc. (often to wonderful and sometimes to excruciating effect) than any other instrument, so that when we hear even pretty decent samples played back without more midi massaging than is remotely practical, we are disappointed. I don't see how this is likely to improve.
