The Saxophone is often a solo instrument. It can be the only horn in small group.

In concert bands and jazz big bands there are sections of saxophones. So they play melodies and harmonies in those situations.

Saxophones also back up vocalists and other musicians in many groups. With 'horn lines' and things like that.
