So, I trust that you have talked to the musician and there is no way that they would stay put.

That's a real drag when you're doing your best to capture the performance properly.

If they must move around you have to consider (dare I say it) clip on mics.
I really dislike these mics, but I cannot imagine a better alternative.
With a l corrective EQ you can make those mics sound a bit better.

If they go into the audience, (like you said) a clip-on wireless rig is the obvious solution.
Hey, a wireless system can be your friend if you cover yourself with backup options and such.

With that said, clip-on mics can make your horns sound like kazoos and that is a serious drag. I've been there and it is not very pretty.

I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts and insight on this topic.
