This time it seemed like it was aimed directly at me, since I received the Custom Dark Baritone mouthpiece handpicked by Jody for me less than a week ago&#8230;and it completes my Custom Dark Family Collection as well as my Jody Espina collection, including complete sets of Chedeville and Rousseau mouthpieces for all clarinets and saxophones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, that heartfelt ad is not just for me! It is for any player of any Jody Espina mouthpiece, as we are all part of a large and varied family that is treated like gold.  Jody&#8217;s fundamental mission is pleasing musicians and audiences.  His heart, energy, sincerity and expertise are second to none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m blessed beyond my dreams with a two year association with the JodyJazz family, and it just keeps getting better. I finally get to meet the Chedeville\/JodyJazz\/Rousseau team in person at the ClarinetFest in Reno in eight weeks, and I&#8217;m counting the days.  In appreciation of the team, this ad is now framed in my studio, facing my students, right beside another dear family, the Vancouver Saxophone Ensemble.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A treasured student gave me that sterling silver picture frame and I was saving it for something very special.  Synchronicity&#8230;that student plays a Custom Dark Alto mouthpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-1231x1536.jpg 1231w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-Family-1641x2048.jpg 1641w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-1024x497.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-1024x497.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-768x372.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-1536x745.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.saxnoir.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Custom-Dark-w-Vancouver-Saxophone-Ensemble-2048x993.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Two great families!  <br>The Vancouver Saxophone Ensemble and the JodyJazz Custom Dark Mouthpieces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time I receive the latest Downbeat digital magazine I immediately go to the back cover to check out the latest JodyJazz ad.
