I swear that Buddy's playing bari on the out chorus.

Please advise, thank you.

That's definitely a baritone saxophone on the out chorus.

Is that notated anywhere?

Did Buddy play bari anyplace else?

Says he played bari here (and looks like an interesting record given bass and drums only):

Interesting...I wonder why no mention of it on the album at hand or any(?) reviews of it over all these years.

There are a handful of listings for Tate on bari in the Tom Lord Jazz Discography, though, curiously, the record with Dollar Brand is not one of them. But that's obviously a bari he's playing on the way out on  Poor Butterfly. Here are a few:

So have I discovered something that's always been there?

Call me Columbus then!

Do I now qualify as a Junior Jazz Detective?
