Re: Jazz mouthpiece ?

I have a trio that plays early jazz, blues and ragtime. Jimmie Noone is my ideal, especially the Apex Club stuff with the clarinet/alto duets. I play a Boehm instrument with a Pyne ~M mouthpiece. I hesitate to recommend it because it seems unreasonably expensive, but other brands will have a similar geometry, fairly open. I tried the Vandoren jazz model 5JB - it is so open I can't play it with any reed. My sound has become beautifully antique, and I attribute that as much to embouchure adjustment as to setup.
