It's always the baritone sax.

Add the Hammond organ and it's to die for.

When I lived in Oakland, I saw them in their first public appearance ever as a group, back in May 1970 at the Berkeley Community Theater. They were the opening (and only) act for Jimi Hendrix. Great horn section and great élan (élan: a combination of style and vigor).
