Just did a rehearsal tonite for the annual Fashion Cares show in Toronto. Dame Shirley Bassey is the featured performer. I was playing as part of a 25 piece orchestra backing her.
Bari sax/bass clarinet/alto flute.
There's a reasonable amount of bari, about 7 bars of bass clarinet, and lots of alto flute. One entire chart is just alto flute.
The setup is crazy. The strings, harp, percussion and keys are about 90 feet from the winds and brass.
The opener is of course a medley of the three Bond themes she sang.
