Bob,

As a former saxophone player many years ago, I know that a sax is a hard 
instrument to record, because the sound comes from various parts of the 
instrument depending on where the notes fall in the two registers.  A mike 
attached to the bell of the horn just won't do it.  If the old mike captures 
the spatial output of the instrument, then it is a great choice, regardless 
of its retro appearance.  Great shot.  Incidentally, the profile of the 
tenor player resembles a baritone sax player I played with in college. 
History repeats itself.
