Why does the saxophone sound much above the speakers on The Girl from Ipanema?


Could this be because Phil Ramone used a U47 above the bell of the sax and a mic down low near the bottom of the horn?


Could the interference (added signal) of the two mics have extracted, conveyed the height information? A similar way to how holograms work?
