Here is a short clip of the Air Force Falconaires saxophone section performing Charlie Parker's solo on "Be Bop" at the Jazz @ Jack's Saxophone Day. Both alto players are playing on the EAS652RL "52nd Street" saxophones. The band leader and 1st alto, Technical Sergeant John Dawson says "We got the 52nd Streets because the brass playing behind us put out such a wall of sound we needed something that would keep up with them. We can push these 52nd's as hard as we want and the tone never breaks up."
