If anyone can improvise it is great if they get to try.If you have balance problems we recommend to utilize saxophones to strengthen the voices that need it. The drummer should also notice the ever-changing groove which is often associated with the bass figure. With a larger group of musicians one may give some musicians a break to enrich the instrumentation.
