“From the first moment I tried the JodyJazz mouthpieces I knew that my search for the perfect mouthpiece was over.
Versatility, power, easy response and tuning are just some of the features that make me feel unconditionally love these mouthpieces.

Never before have I felt so much freedom to express myself when I play like now that I have the JodyJazz mouthpieces.”

In Spanish

Versatilidad , potencia,fácil respuesta y afinación son sólo algunas de las características que hacen que ame incondicionalmente estas boquillas.

Nunca antes sentí tanta libertad para expresarme al tocar como ahora que cuento con las boquillas JodyJazz.”

“My JodyJazz mouthpieces allow me to shape my unique sound in any musical setting. They are very flexible and give me a fat and full tone. I have never been happier playing my saxophone!”

“After listening to my teacher and mentor George Garzone, I was curious to know why he chose to use the JodyJazz mouthpiece. I have now had the pleasure of playing the DV Alto 8 and understand the flexibility and sound quality this mouthpiece offers. It’s especially great for the exploration of multi-phonics, high notes, and other sound possibilities on the instrument. The DV Alto makes it easy to interpret different musical styles such as Latin Jazz, Fusion, Funk and World Music with little effort. Thank you Jody for your scientific- mathematical research and for designing a variety of high-quality products and mouthpieces”

“The Super JET Tenor 8* is so off the hook and great! If you think you’ve got one of the greatest metal pieces ever, you do!”

“The freedom of expression and ability to let me create the sound I hear in my mind is paramount with JodyJazz mouthpieces. Quality and professionalism all go hand in hand to make these world class mouthpieces.”

“JodyJazz mouthpieces give me a wide range of options and possibilities to satisfy my needs as an interpreter. It is amazing how I can change the tone at the moment of interpreting different music styles by providing a stable sound in all the sound register.

Another point in favor is the comfort when playing as I don’t find any significant resistance; JodyJazz mouthpieces are very free-blowing so I can play and practice for hours and hours without issues. Indeed, it was a blessing getting to know JodyJazz mouthpieces, it was love at first sight!”.

Quote in Spanish
“Las boquillas JodyJazz me brindan una gama de opciones y posibilidades para satisfacer mis necesidades como interprete. Es impresionante como puedo cambiar de timbre para interpretar diferentes estilos brindando un sonido estable en todo el registro.

Otro punto a favor es la comodidad que tengo al tocar ya que no me opone resistencia, así puedo tocar horas y horas sin desgastarme.” Es una bendición haber conocido las boquillas JodyJazz, fue amor a primera vista!”.

“A world-class big band is impossible without a sax section that truly blends. JodyJazz mouthpieces give the Crescent Super Band the consistency, precision, and tone necessary across all our saxes for that to happen. ”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz HR* Clarinet:
“I play the JodyJazz HR* 9 Clarinet mouthpiece on all of my gigs. My style, partially rooted in the New Orleans Creole clarinet tradition, requires a larger tip opening than what is available from other mouthpiece manufacturers. Projection is fabulous and intonation is spot on with a beautiful tone. It is a free-blowing clarinet mouthpiece that you don’t need to fight to play.

I also use the Chedeville Kaspar CB1 64mm, 65mm, and 66mm clarinet barrels. While these barrels do indeed look cool, they actually help with projection and intonation. I always have these 3 barrels in my case to help with intonation as needed.”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz JodyJazz GIANT Garzone Signature Model 10* and SUPER JET Tenor 9*:
“When I’m called to play tenor for more traditional jazz/swing work, I play the JodyJazz GIANT Garzone Signature Model 10*. As Jody describes it, the mouthpiece provides a BIG sound, but not LOUD. I find it is well-balanced throughout the range, blends well with the ensemble, and the larger tip opening helps with projection. Intonation is spot on and it is very free-blowing, despite the larger tip.

If I am called for more R&B/Jump Swing styles, I use the Super Jet 9*. I first tried the Super Jet at JEN 2020 in New Orleans at the JodyJazz booth, and I was blown away with the projection, tone, and intonation. It’s a mouthpiece that turns heads and definitely has a “wow” factor. As is the case with all of Jody’s mouthpieces, it is also free-blowing and easy to play.”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz DV Soprano Sax Mouthpiece:
“Jody, got the DV 8* soprano mouthpiece today. Wow! Just wow! As you know, I’m heavily influenced by Sidney Bechet, and this mouthpiece gets me as close to that sound as I think you can get! I also will use a slightly harder reed to achieve a mellower sound in a more contemporary setting. Overall, this is the most flexible soprano sax mouthpiece I’ve ever tried – the best of both worlds.”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz DV Alto Sax Mouthpiece:
“I’m loving the DV 8. Tonal flexibility and complexity at its best. I can play contemporary or traditional with this mouthpiece, depending on my approach. If I push it, it wails – if I lay back on it, it’s just a beautiful mellow sound. Everything from Bird to Earl Bostic and beyond can be covered with this mouthpiece!”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz DV Tenor Sax Mouthpiece:
“Tenor saxophones, and mouthpieces for that matter, are tricky for me. Perhaps it’s because of the wide array of influences I have on tenor. I tend to use a different mouthpiece on tenor for different scenarios. If I want to wail and honk, I use the DV 9*. If it’s a Zoot Sims, more mellow type of sound I’m looking for, I’ll use the DVNY 9*.”

Ryan Burrage on the JodyJazz DV Baritone Sax Mouthpiece:
“I don’t get to play baritone sax too much, but when I do, I use the DV 9. Because I don’t play bari a lot, I need it to be ready to play when I pick it up, and that’s exactly what the DV 9 does for me – it practically plays itself! Other than the size of the horn, I generally feel as though I am playing alto or tenor, and forget about the fact that I’m playing the much larger baritone sax! Thanks a lot!”

“I’m not really a mouthpiece guy. I had played on the same mouthpieces for years, and wasn’t one of those cats constantly experimenting with different pieces, but I had a couple of friends, whose opinions I respected, tell me about Jody’s mouthpieces. I tried them and was immediately a convert…”
