im trying to find out how to get that jazzy sound out of my sax,and im clueless on how and my teeacher is no good,so what can i do?

Hi, I play clarinet, but clarinet and sax can both have this problem. Chances are, you`re probably hearing spit going through your instrument, so every time you hear this "scratchy" sound, stop playing, take the horn apart and swab it out. It`ll sound a lot better.

Ohh, my bad, you WANT that sound. Oops. I was thinking of the wrong scratchy sound too.

get a jazz mouthpiece such as a yanagisawa, dukoff, Selmer, or otto link. I ould reccommend yanagisawa because they can get very loud and are very adjustaable, same with beechler. Drop your lower jaw and blow without really putting your teeth on the mouthpiece and just kind of play with it. Expierment with the different sounds you can make.
