It's funny that someone already mentioned one of the examples I was
going to give - the old Chicago material; seems like there were
several instances when there were just two trumpets and, while they
had a "chorale", they still sounded damned good. Another example is
the old Average White Band piece "Pick up the Pieces." That
definitely sounds like just two saxes to me, but they sound *great*!
SOmebody mentioned elseewhere this thread that CHicago might
have been 1 trumpet; 1 bone 1 sax. IF so I think the
trumpet player did some double tracking. SOmebody involved
with those sessions could correct me on this I'm sure g.

THe AVerage white band piece mentioned: SOmetimes those
saxes were unison and sometimes harmonizing with each other
iirc.

Btw that AWB tune ends up being brain worm music once in
awhile. still a good tune decades later!!!
