Baker Street

In the sheet music for Baker Street, is the solo you do on the tenor (originally electric guitar), written for the alto sax as well? This is one song I play with my buddy using my alto sax and would like to play that solo on the alto as well. Also I noticed it seems as though your version is a half step higher than we play it. When the lead starts on alto I start on D and run to the high D. To me it sounded like you were on D#. If this is the case, I will have to drop the solo down for me to play in the key I am used to playing it in. Thanks for your time!

Yes, I copied the guitar solo. The download includes the alto and tenor sheet music so you will play the sax line, the main song melody and the guitar solo on whichever sax you want.
The original key may have been in A, which is the one you guys are playing but to make it better for both sax keys I chose Bb. This means alto is in G and tenor is in C. Otherwise it would have been F# for alto and B for tenor.
You’re right about the run up to D, in this key the run goes to D#.
