[Finale] Looking for info on Jeff Heist's transcription of Sing, Sing, Sing Part I
Greetings, List, Does anyone know what the sax instrumentation was on this no longer published arrangement of this classic Goodman arrangement? I am playing a concert tonight and tomorrow night and have to sit holding my Bari while the band plays. What we have is clarinet, two altos and one 1st tenor. Was there a 2nd tenor (or Bari)? Anyone know where we could get the (possibly) missing part? ' Thanks in advance, Richard Willis -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I'm not sure, but I don't think there was a bari sax in any of Benny's music from this era. I think the usual basic section was two altos and two tenors plus Benny as a soloist.

No bari part. BG's band didn't have one. However, it WAS common practice right after the war ended and there was sudden prosperity, for previously 4-man sax sections to add a baritone, who would read off the Alto 1 book, thus changing all the 4part block voicings into Supersax-type voicings. So give that a try, or else just sit out to be historically accurate.

Hi, Chuck, That is my thinking, too. I thought he might have had a tenor II for this arrangement, but I can't verify that. It seems odd to have only three saxes and Benny. But, times were tough... Thanks again...

Hi, Christopher, That is what I suspected. I did think he had a 4-man sax section plus Benny on clarinet. History wins out on this one and I get to watch the ballet tonight...
