"I wanted a mouthpiece that could produce a sound that would melt butter. A piece that lets the player shape the sound, instead of the sound being dictated by a high baffle or restrictive tone chamber. I wanted all of the bottom end in the world while still being able to sizzle on the high end. To be able to have the vocal qualities of Johnny Hartman's deep lush baritone and Dinah Washington's cutting clarity. Most of all, I wanted a mouthpiece that plays so effortlessly that you can completely forget about it. I think that the goal in all of your equipment purchases should be to find the mouthpiece/reed/ligature/horn combination that allows you to forget about all of it and just play. I believe that the JodyJazz ESP is a metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece for the future that takes the best from the past. I hope that the JodyJazz ESP brings new zest and life into your playing, the way it has done for mine." Jody Espina
