“A GIANT among mouthpieces. My Jody Jazz Giant 8 makes it easier to express honest human emotions, which is the ultimate goal for any artist; translating the four basic human emotions of Happiness, Fear, Anger & Sadness – onto his or her horn. This mouthpiece is helping me realize this goal.”
“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”
“My JodyJazz HR* Alto mouthpiece allows me to get the sound I’m looking for and it feels incredibly comfortable to play on. There are so many little details and nuances that I can only get on this mouthpiece. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
“On my baritone I play the JodyJazz mouthpiece HR 7 and it feels very comfortable. It has a warm and rich sound.
I can play very soft and clear in the lower and higher part of my baritone. The intonation is great. Above all JodyJazz makes it very easy to switch from alto to baritone to soprano in seconds without any barriers.”
“I can use this mouthpiece for any gig that I play. My main gig with the Count Basie Orchestra, this mouthpiece will be perfect for that, or small group with the Dexter Gordon Legacy Quintet with Louis Hayes, this is going to be perfect. Just what I need. It’s the best mouthpiece on the market.”
Doug Lawrence – Count Basie Orchestra
“When I discovered the JodyJazz DV Tenor 7* & 8* I appreciated the roundness, warmth and comfort I got in concerts. The accuracy is perfect and precise .
After years of research , I finally found my mouthpiece! Like a great wine , I like its color, elegance and its finish. Its power allows me to play any style and I’m looking forward to trying other JodyJazz models!”
“I was really impressed with the new HR* Custom Dark Tenor 8*. Its sound is really smooth and it is possible to change intonation according to the energy of my playing. It is an extremely fair and homogeneous mouthpiece. It goes where I want to go, that’s the most important thing to me!
For a young musician this may be the time to take a sound color term to the next level. I recommend it to all my students because it brings more confidence.
On soprano, the HR 7* model allowed me to find smooth listening and playing sensations – in the studio, these accuracies make the big difference.”
“Wanna know what the best thing you can do for your saxophone playing? Slap a Jody Jazz on the end of your ax!!
My HR* Tenor 10* roars like a lion and somehow also purrs like a kitten!! I can’t believe how “phat” and juicy my subtone is. I grin ear to ear everytime I crank it up!!
