Have you ever heard celtic/Irish music on a saxophone? Me neither. But let's try.
This is a stupid thing, just an experiment, after a whole year without any saxophone now I'm playing one again, but this time... Irish music.
It's quite hard to do the Irish ornamentation (rolls, cuts, taps, etc) on a sax because it obviously doesn't have holes. (OK, it does have holes, but you know what I mean, you put your fingers on keys, not holes).
I think this is Temple Hill Reel.
