Chris's message below, especially the last item, triggered something in my
mind...

>Some you could look into:

>John Pierce Jazz
>Sugal Jazz METAL (almost $400!!!!!)

...if you can bring yourself to spend "less" than $25...a difficult
decision for those who sometimes feel there is a direct relationship
between price and quality...also give the Rico Royal mouthpiece in its
largest size [B7] a chance. [I used one as a double in a big band very
successfully! It may be good for solo and small group work, too!]

Also, Clark Fobes "Debut" [student] mouthpiece has proved, for me at least,
to be very flexible. I feel it likewise has "jazz" potential. FSS
