“Because I play in many different styles I need a mouthpiece that has the flexibility to allow me to create the sound that I am hearing at any given moment. The GIANT Tenor 7* offers a great dynamic range and a broad tonal palette that lets me meet the musical demands of whatever musical situation I’m in.”
“The tone through each one of my saxophones starts by entering one of Jody’s fabulous mouthpieces. With a variety of styles, and materials, I’m confident that there is a mouthpiece in his catalogue to be paired with any saxophonist’s horn. All of my JodyJazz mouthpieces are free blowing, and beautifully hand crafted. My main sax is the tenor. From the first time playing it, I loved the DV Tenor 7*. My sound was warmer, but could project louder AND speak softer. Articulations were easier to pronounce, and my altissimo notes grew in range and beauty. Curious, I tried the DV CHI Tenor 7*, and loved it as well. I play on this as my main piece, and it pairs nicely with my silver Selmer horn.
In 2014, I played tenor and baritone sax with Canadian singing icon Gino Vannelli. This was the first time that I played the bari sax, and it wasn’t easy until I picked up a DV Baritone 8 mouthpiece. The DV made it easy to blow a beautiful tone through the sax, while I only needed to focus on the music.
One of the trickier saxes; the soprano, needs a lot of focus and dedication to hone a personalized tone, with good intonation. When I switched from a reputable manufacturer, to the DV Soprano 7*, I was able to work on my sound, instead of fighting with the technical difficulties the soprano sax. This mouthpiece darkened the tones and made the instrument less ‘nasal’, and super fun to play.
I seldom play the alto, but when I do, I can ease into it with a DV Alto 7 mouthpiece. Switching between the different JodyJazz mouthpieces is easy and comfortable. Thank you Mr. Espina, and your fantastic staff for your contributions to the saxophone community!”
“After playing the JodyJazz HR* Tenor 10* for a couple of years I tried out the new JodyJazz GIANT 10* Garzone Signature model and it was incredible. I never found a more beautiful sounding mouthpiece: It has got such a unique tone, and it’s rich, powerful and warm sound makes it to the greatest mouthpiece I’ve ever played.”
“Now I’m playing a 10* HR tenor Mouthpiece I think the sound is great, I love the sound of the mouthpiece. I’m very glad to be the endorser of JodyJazz.”
“When the first time I played this mouthpiece, it’s unique resonance, clean tone, stunning sound penetration, it excited me! Thanks Jody for create this wonderful mouthpiece, so artists in the world can play beautifully!”
It could give me a sweet sound and at the same time a clear and alive sound also. It’s a very easy mouthpiece to play, comfortable, very precise tuning and a beautiful sound. A long time ago I have been looking for a mouthpiece with that comfort. I am very happy with the result.
Wow! I had never sounded such a velvety beautiful sound before. The bottom end of the saxophone sounded so beautiful that I thought maybe the high notes would be weak super clear and also beautiful sounding.
“The JodyJazz JET has everything I search for in a saxophone mouthpiece. It’s powerful, balanced, allows flexibility, has dynamics and huge projection when I push it. This is a mouthpiece made by a guy who plays and understands what a mouthpiece needs to work perfectly. Congratulations Jody, great job!!!”
“The incredible sound projection of my JodyJazz DVs has impressed me for years. I love the ease of tuning and super altissimo, as well as the beautiful harmonics you hear. JodyJazz mouthpieces are made from only the finest materials and the really stand up to the rigors of the road, playing night after night. I always feel my sound is always right there and effortlessly gives me the sound I need both in live shows and in recording studios. I first started playing the JodyJazz DV Tenor 7 when I was in London and because I love that so much have since also added the DV Alto 7 for my Alto.”
“JodyJazz offers me a “free blowing” mouthpiece without resistance. They are easy to play and capture the full range of tonal qualities of the instrument. The lower range of the saxophone gets a fat, round and strong sound, while the higher registers have a warm and refined sound. The mouthpiece has a clean sound, with excellent focus and projection and the construction and finishing is of the highest quality.”
