RE: Stoltzman's Sound

When I was in school all my peers and I dissed Stoltzmann before we really understood what he was doing. We were into David Shiffrin and "darker sounds." But now I like Stoltzman, I started liking him when he did the arrangment of Finzi Bagatelles. And I got into his recording of Messian. His sound is original, and I was blind to that a few years ago. The more I play by ear, the more I hear his sound. It sounds like maybe he uses a softer reed and maintains a high tongue position. His airstream really glides along too. I guess I haven't really thought too much about it, but would you guys agree his setup sounds more free blowing than say, well, almost anybody in the genre.
