I'm very proud to introduce two new Artist Endorsers for the ESP Bari
Gold Sax Mouthpiece. Steve Adams and Jon Raskin, are both members
of the ROVA Saxophone Quartet.
Stephen Adams
Oakland, California
Rova Saxophone Quartet
On the ESP Bari Gold 110:
"The JodyJazz ESP Baritone is the mouthpiece I've been searching
for. It has tremendous dynamic range, going from a beautiful, warm
pianissimo to a gutsy, full bodied roar. It does all that without
losing responsiveness or intonation in any range. I feel confident
I'll be able to handle a wide range of music, from classical sax
quartets to big band, and be totally comfortable in all of them.
I've tried a lot of bari sax mouthpieces, and this is the best one
I've found."
Jon Raskin
Oakland, California
Rova Saxophone Quartet
On the JodyJazz ESP Bari Gold .120:
"The Jody Jazz Mouthpiece, besides being beautiful, has a rich and warm
sound. There is room at the edges to find all the interesting tonal language
that makes the saxophone such an expressive instrument. The insert is a
great item for a bari sax player that is playing with an ensemble that has a
thick sound and mid to low sound spectrum. The mid tones of the Baritone saxophone are
often covered up in this situation. The ESP has a good bottom, clear top tones
and makes playing in tune easier."
