The JDX Tenor sax mouthpiece is a bright strong projecting mouthpiece that is at home in Latin, Pop, Funk and Straight-Ahead Jazz. The JDX features a unique “V” Chamber that balances a stable sound with greater power, edge, projection and core. This mouthpiece gives an excellent response and an even scale in all registers. A full-sounding mouthpiece, with enough edge to “cut through” but enough warmth for sensitive ballad work.
In contemporary music or in other words playing saxophone in today’s world, it’s a fact that saxophonists need a certain amount of power, projection and cut in order to be heard among all of the electronic instruments. The JDX delivers this power in an elegant and beautiful sounding package. The sound of Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Eric Marienthal, Grover Washington and Cannonball Adderley to name a few are some examples of the range of tone one might obtain from the Rousseau JDX Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece.

Many people ask, “if I’m coming from a Classical Mouthpiece Setup, which Jazz mouthpiece would be the easiest transition?” Without question, The Rousseau JDX Saxophone mouthpieces are the easiest transition. Dr. Rousseau actually played Jazz in his early career, even having a stint on the road with the Woody Herman Jazz Orchestra before he decided to become a Classical Musician and Teacher. For this reason, the Rousseau Jazz mouthpieces have always been an easy transition for Classical players. Hardcore Jazz players love the Rousseau Jazz mouthpieces equally as much as the Classical players.
The wider tip openings of Jazz sax mouthpieces necessitate playing softer reeds than the reeds you play with a Classical sax mouthpiece. Also, in general, Jazz players are seeking a buzzier sound that the softer reed provides. Jazz mouthpieces are louder and brighter than Classical mouthpieces because of the smaller chamber of the Jazz mouthpieces. The larger tip opening of a Jazz mouthpiece also provides for some more volume of tone but mostly it assists in the bending of notes.
