Re: How can i make jazz sounds?

5Jb is just under $100 Canadian, as is the case with all Vandoren mouthpieces. And to be more specific, since everyone is right in saying that there is no real "Jazz" mouthpiece, only a jazz sound that you might find is better produced from ceratin mouthpieces: Mouthpieces that manufacturers and crafters CALL "Jazz" mouthpieces were what I was initially referring to... the 5JB is what Vandoren refers to as "THE Jazz mouthpiece", Clark Fobes makes the "Jazz Model", etc, and they tend to have a more open tip for ease when bending notes. A softer reed is amenable to this practice as well. Whether they actually produce the sound you're after is, as everyone has said, more in your hands than in your equipment's.

And 4.99 for an order of luck with the ladies sounds a bit risky... I wouldn't be buying any of that cheap charm. You'd think it'd be like cologne. Better off getting the good stuff.
