Re: Jazz Mouthpiece for Student Clarinetist

In my experience, an open jazz mouthpiece like the Vandoren 5JB for example, makes it easier to blow harder without fear of overblowing, bend the notes without having to adjust your breath as much and the ability to make that airy, whispered, reedy, not quite so crisp, Art Pepper (so difficult to describe) tone. Many jazz clarinetists don't like that, so you have to identify exactly what you are looking for that your current set up does not have. Even then a recommended set up might not work for you. It is a very personal thing.
