List of Recommended Repertoire for Eb contrabass saxophone
(with piano unless specified)

String bass, contrabass clarinet, and contrabassoon music are all good places to start looking for pieces to play on the Monster. Some baritone saxophone music also works well. There are also a growing number of good solo pieces (included in my concerto list) for contrabass sax and band or orchestra. More pieces can be found in the unaccompanied and sax/tape/electronics lists.
