Jean Paul Mallet on the DV CHI Tenor 8*
DV CHI Tenor 8*
This mouthpiece is incredible!
"I’ve been playing the DV CHI 8* for a long time now. I first tried it directly with Jody Espina at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany.
This mouthpiece is incredible! It’s a very versatile piece and extremely free-blowing. I can play hard bop, Latin, contemporary jazz, or traditional jazz. I just think of the sound I want to create, and I can achieve it very easily.
My sound has been shaped by years of listening to my heroes: Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Steve Grossman, and Michael Brecker. The result is a blend of their sounds with my own personality.
Sometimes I revisit Bird, Newk, or Trane, and with the DV CHI, it’s simple, easy, and a pleasure!"
