Second try -
I didn’t see any reference to one of more covered anime songs - Gurenge, the opening from Dragon Slayer by Lisa. As I recall, Mina_gf, Davie504, Fami, and lots of others have covered it. Here’s Lisa performing live version.
Ooh. Very nice dreampop, almost shoegazey. Reminds me of some older 4AD bands like Ultra Vivid Scene.

Easy for a forum-mate; easier because of the fantastic books. The Sonny Rollins book that I picked up was a gift, and it was a big hit.

Yeah, good performance, including the good old Maceo one note solo 
So, @John_E what’s the verdict in the sax community on sopraninos - straight or “folded”??

Sopraninos (pitched Eb above sopranos) are generally all straight, I know of one curvy in a collectors heard.
Sopranos (pitched Bb below sopraninos) are what you might be thinking of. Both straight and curvy have their merits, more ergonomics than anything else. Straight are good for bigger hands, curved can sometimes feel really tiny. A
I have yet to score the curved soprano I’m looking for. It’s one of 2-3 unicorns left I need to get.

Quite possibly… I was referring to that sax the guy in @Al1885 's video above played. It looked so tiny - I thought it was a sopranino

It is. It’s called curved soprano sax.
It’s smaller and looks like toys so it’s very affordable and very easy to play, oh wait, actually it’s the complete opposite, lol.
