And here's Arny's suggestion (EQ is not *my* work):

So, it's a simple case of 'better or worse?'...??

What does the team think?

Returning to what really matters...

Pity the sax is restricted to playing footballs under the clarinet
melody.

It's a four part "curtain" The reason is that the arrangement is
for trio plus solo instrument, so the addition of second and third
parts tends to distract. I did try this, and sketched out a few bars
of Miller type clarinet lead 4 part saxophone harmonies, but
decided to keep to the original plan. I got my 15 seconds of
glory in the second chorus:-))))

The other thing is that Moira is a classically trained clarinet
player. I play jazz saxophone, with all that entails regarding
difference in vibrato, intonation etc. Moira's reading is
impeccable. Mine is improving with playing in a big band
where Kenton and Ellington are held in great esteem. We
have five saxes but no clarinet double. Maybe Moira will
come and sit in one day on "Moonlight Serenade".

How about writing some two-part voicings in unison rhythm?
The clarinettist is obviously a reader more than a jazzer, so this
might also help her in developing her jazz phrasing.

Hmm. That's an interesting suggestion, but rather getting away from the
original idea. I very much like the contrast between the two styles.

If we do a sequel, would you care to take part Laurence?
Do you play valve, or slide trombone?
