      Sax's can sound like almost anything. Wish I still played it. But look up saxophone orchestras. I've seen some big ones and they sound almost the same as a regular orchestra. At times I could swear I was hearing other woodwinds, brass, and even strings. Sax is really one of the most versatile instruments

      Heist was great. The song that Cory briefly alludes to is "Simon F15" by the Fearless Flyers. The song at the VERY end is the same motif "FE D, FE FF ED (D up and octave) FE D, FE CC BBb" with Kenni taking a solo.
      So either you really like Heist or you should check out Simon F15
