“Dear Mr. Garzone
Just got your DVD from jodyjazz, and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your taking the time and trouble to lay out one of the most original concepts for improv I’ve seen in a long time. It will definitely keep me busy. Thanks again for a great DVD, and thanks to Jodyjazz for making it happen
Sincerely”
“Hi Jody
I recently receive the DVD copy of George Garzone’s Triadic Chromatic Improvisation. George blew me off my feet! The DVD is worth every penny of my hard earned money! I would like to thank George for sharing to the world his trade secret. It has been a long time that I encountered honest to goodness instructional material with no holding back of vital information. Thank you very much and more power! ”
“The Music of George Garzone & the Triadic Chromatic Approach gives the student of jazz a wealth of information to digest for years to come.”
“Soul Eyes… this cut is sent from HEAVEN!”
“”I must say that this DVD did give me a totally new understanding of why Garzone’s lines sound so unique, and for that alone it is worth the price of the admission ticket…. …As a television and DVD producer myself I really appreciated the production quality of every aspect of this project…. It’s hard to imagine how a tenor sound could be any better; it’s rich, warm, sweet, fat, and complex. I must say that this recording made me want to try a hard rubber JodyJazz piece. There’s also a duo version of Soul Eyes with Mike Manieri that is stunningly beautiful. George’s sound here is something like a perfect marriage of Getz and Trane. …After watching the first DVD the student should have a clear understanding of how to apply the concept and be able to start the process of learning to apply it…. …The second DVD in the set starts off with a great exposition by George on sound. After all, George is like the Louis Armstrong of the saxophone and a Garzone DVD wouldn’t be complete without this lesson… ”
This latest release from Jody Jazz reveals a much more intelligent mouthpiece, a step-up from its previous incarnation, the Classic. Taking its design technology from the DV and made from a special polycarbonate alloy, the all-new JET sounds whizzy and exciting, and to be fair, it is! It won’t cost the progressing student a fortune to advance on to one of these pieces, but it will give the player a natural increase in volume, but without an increase in resistance. The tone is vibrant and extremely responsive – it is baffled sufficiently to give the sound a brightness and a lift at a medium airflow or beyond. If you’re looking to get into pop gigs/fusion stuff/rock n roll this piece should be considered – it won’t cost you as much as a Dukoff but it most likely is more consistently made!!
“Dear Jody: I just received the DV NY #6 Tenor mouthpiece I ordered and it gives me exactly what I’m looking for; a big sound with minimum effort. After all, at age 70, one doesn’t have a great deal of excess wind-power and energy. The response throughout the horn is great, but I’m amazed at the response in the lower range. I’ve never been able to “get” below a “D” without really attacking the note; not a good thing for ballads. With your DV NY, I’m able to get ’em all and play tunes I’ve resisted playing in the past. Lastly, while the mouthpiece amplifies the brightness of my new Yanagisawa 992, it’s absolutely wonderful on my “old friend”, a 1953 “The Martin” tenor. As in life, sometimes old friends are best”
“Hi there, This truly is the best mouthpiece I have ever played, and is exactly the jazz sound I was looking for. I am amazed at how well it responds in the lower register, as I have had trouble with a good sound all through the sax. It looks brilliant, simply a great piece, and such quick delivery. I can praise you and the mouthpiece no end, so i will just say thank you so, so much for such a great sounding mouthpiece. I have a feeling I have found what I will be playing for life! Thank you again,”
“The new DV NY really captures the sound of the early Otto Links and Dukoffs with less resistance and much more ease of blowing. What a great mouthpiece. Thanks again,”
“I had the extreme honor and pleasure of being involved with the development of this incredible mouthpiece. It offers me a mouthpiece that has extreme control, volume and response with the tonal quality that I’ve been looking for. It has a bit of the Steve Grossman “center” in the sound with much greater playing ease and evenness than any ‘Link I’ve ever owned or played. If you are looking for a great ‘Link “like” mouthpiece without all of the headaches involved with making a ‘Link play, try the JodyJazz DV NY. I’m sure you’ll love this mouthpiece just as much as I do! Smoking”
“Jody’s DV NY mouthpiece is extremely balanced, warm, and easy to play. I can create so many colors in my sound now and it allows me speak with a warm beautiful lyrical quality that I’ve been searching for. I find that the Rico Jazz Select Reeds works great with my DV NY. Jody makes a killin’ mouthpiece!! Check it out!”
