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...

Thanks again,
Richard

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.
