Just to point out that the idea was to show the possibilities of the VSL saxophone lib and NOT equal the amazing Charlie Parker's performance which not even a real sax player can dare to match.
As for the titles I am aware of them, I took it directly from a Charlie Parker transcription book, note for note, but that's the way it was presented by herb and I don't think anybody really cared how accurate the title was.....

IT'S WRONG - ALL WRONG!!! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! [:D]
Speaking of wrong... its does in fact bug me everytime I see Ralph Vaughan spelled Ralf... [:'(]

I wish I got the saxes just to see how they play with my EWI. (I am a sax player)

It's an electronic wind instrument. I use it primarly on all my VSL mixes (still mixing one to show off).
It's basically another way to input MIDI other than a MIDI keyboard controller. It has touch sensitive pads, and a breath sensor, as well as pitch control.
I use it on all single line instruments (strings, winds, brass, etc)
It makes the expressive quality of VSL even better imo, but takes getting use to play each type of instrument realistically. Since I am primarily a wind player, it also improves my writing and ideas a great deal.

Yes, I can certainly believe that. What's imo? Just kidding, I know.
But why did you wish you had the sax lib to try with your EWI if you already play the sax and can recorded live? Is using the sample sax with an electronic sax more efficient than recording a real sax? Just curious.

Speaking of wrong, and Charlie Parker, did anyone see the Charlie Parker movie produced by Clint Eastwood? There's a scene in that movie where he's fooling around with one of those big, conical, colorful sax swabs. That was WRONG! They didn't have those back in his day. I'll bet the VSL folks were behind that, too.
