That being the case, it would have been at the bottom end of the range for that instrument. ---

Not a pop song but apparently this busker has had a lot of success since this video (six years old…deservedly so IMHO): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/JD8ZO5P9yzQ/maxresdefault.jpg "the coolest saxophone player ever") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD8ZO5P9yzQ) ---

I forgot that Dave Matthews Band had a sax player, who played bari a lot. I can’t think of all the songs off the top of my head but it’s definitely in [So Much To Say](https://youtu.be/HgJOjB8-e8w) Also this is just as jazzy as the Squirrel Nut Zippers song I posted earlier but Amy Winehouse’s [Rehab](https://youtu.be/KUmZp8pR1uc) was very popular. ---
