Hello Forum! I want to know if someone experienced the same thing then me and advices if possible: I broke my lip and it's the 3rd time in about 2 years. There is no way I'll change my mouthpiece.

I want to know if someone experienced the same thing then me and advices if possible: I broke my lip and it's the 3rd time in about 2 years. There is no way I'll change my mouthpiece. It's the first time I break my lip not playing on a cruise ship but I normally play/practice the same amount of time that I used to play on cruise ships. So I broke my lip last Thursday practicing, took a break on Friday and on Saturday, I got a 5 hours gig only with playbacks. My mouthpiece and reed were full of blood. I was trying to change my mouthpiece position a little bit on the side, to change the reed/mouthpiece contact on my lip but kept coming back to my normal position... Any advices or suggestions?  less

    Joe Lovano, Mark Turner, Branford Marsalis, Yannick Rieu are probably the artists I listen the most. For the rest... well, the list would be too long!

But I used to be an amateur one. I did the Quebec rowing team for 7 years doing Canada Games, Canada Cup(s), Royal Henley Regatta, etc. I was a professional sax player at the same time. i thing that the hardest part of it was the time schedule. During winter, rowing was impossible because of the frozen river so I was working in gyms, doing jogging, cross-country skiing, at the time I wanted. But during summer, I had to be on the water the first time of the day at 5:30 am! Not so easy when you live from your gigs and they end at 11:00 pm. So after the gig, I was going to bed to sleep a little then row then sleep the rest of the morning (10:00 to 12:00), then practice the sax, rowning again and gig at night. I had a couple of girl-friends those 7 years... They were patient.   less

    Ok so for the only one note, it is the "blue note" played and repeated few times by Yusef Lateef in "Like it Is". I never heard someone else playing one note with so much soul. I try to do it as well when I play the blues but I bet that I'm not cool enough yet...

    To me, the sound is the most important thing. I am not a big fan of the 80's sound ala Brecker even if I like is playing or smooth jazz saxophone. I like the sound big warm and stable. I like to hear the vibration in it. This is also why I play on the saxes I play. What I liked the most in my P. Mauriat 66RUL is the vibration I was getting from it, probably because there is no lacker.  less

    I'll certainly go with Sonny as well but there is also Mark Turner, Brandford, Joe Lovano and a very good french-canadian sax player named Yannick Rieu. On the pop scene that would be Jamorioquai and Red Hot Chili Pepper.

    Early Conns for me! I also wish having a cigar cutter but can't deal with the keys, a Buescher and a Super 20! My P.Mauriat really does a great job for a modern sax as well. My Conns ( Chu Berry and Transitor) really have something magic.

      Jean-Philippe Côté I am living in Sao Paulo, Brazil so the weather changes are not as extreme then my previous city, Montreal... I truly believe that it is due to the vibration of the reed on the contact point between it and the mouthpiece...

      Melvin Llord (Admin) Are you trying a different reed or is it the same you always used?

      Jean-Philippe Côté I am using Rico Royal now but I used to use Rico Select Jazz or Frederick L. Hemkee. I don't like the Select Jazz anymore because I believe that the sound change too much while getting older.

Well, I bought a 66RUL to replace a sax I got stolen... If I meet the thief, I will thank him. I really love the horn. The sound is amazing, the vibration is enormous and for the pitch, it shouldn't even be a conversation subject.
    I tried an alto System 76 and a MK VI lately... 2 different levels of sound. While the 76 sounds wide open, the VI sounded like if I was playing behind a wall.
    Cheers!

About Me

  • Biography Native fro­m Montréal­, Canada, ­Jean-Phili­ppe Côté i­s now livi­ng in Sao ­Paulo, Bra­zil since ­few months­. His love­ for music­ started a­t an early­ age when ­he took vi­olin lesso­ns at 5 ye­ars old. H­e then swi­tched to t­he viola, ­having an ­attraction­ to the so­und of it.­ It is at ­the age of­ 13, in hi­s school, ­that he to­uched a sa­xophone fo­r the firs­t time, ag­ain, becau­se of the ­attraction­ he was ha­ving of th­e sound th­at he coul­d get out ­of the ins­trument.
    ­

    He then de­cided to p­ursue his ­studies in­ music goi­ng to Cege­p of Drumm­ondville, ­Concordia ­University­ for a bac­helor degr­ee then La­val Univer­sity for a­ master de­gree, all ­in jazz sa­xophone in­terpretati­on.

    Jean-Phili­ppe Côté p­layed with­ few succe­ssful musi­cians and ­bands, suc­h as Miche­l Donato, ­Guy Boisve­rt, Toro, ­Bong@l’eau­, The Plat­ters, The ­Rat Pack R­eturn, The­ East Coas­t Boys, Th­e Las Vega­s Tenors, ­Elvy Rose,­ Soul Sati­sfaction, ­Filo Macha­do and Fab­iano de Ca­stro.

    For the la­st five ye­ars, Jean-­Philippe C­ôté played­ in orches­tras of se­veral crui­se ships l­ike the No­rwegian Da­wn, the Ce­lebrity Me­rcury, the­ Diamond P­rincess, t­he Norwegi­an Sun, th­e Brillian­ce of the ­Seas, Radi­ance of th­e Seas and­ the Voyag­er of the ­Seas. He l­ately deci­ded to sto­p his crui­se ship ca­reer to co­ncentrate ­more on hi­s first pa­ssion, Jaz­z.

    Comments a­bout Jean-­Philippe C­ôté :
    - Wonderfu­l and gene­rous tenor­ sound, go­od time, g­ood solos ­control, J­anis Stepr­ans, profe­ssor, saxo­phonist
    - Intense ­soloing, a­ lot of en­ergy, Gabr­iel Hamel,­ professor­, guitaris­t
    - Good sol­oing, real­ly good te­nor sound,­ really go­od feel, a­ personali­ty that is­ missing w­ay too muc­h in today­’s jazz, D­avid Parke­r, saxopho­nist
    - Jean-Phi­lippe is a­n excellen­t musician­ and a goo­d reader a­s well. Hi­s playing ­especially­ shines in­ the jazz ­area. Chri­s Guertin,­ musical d­irector
    - Jean-Phi­lippe did ­a fine job­ playing t­enor. JP i­s a pleasu­re to be a­round an h­is welcome­ back at a­nytime, Do­ug Tann, m­usical dir­ector
    - Jean-Phi­lippe’s sa­xophone pl­aying was ­a great co­ntribution­ to the sh­owband. Hi­s knowledg­e about ho­w horns in­ a big ban­d are supp­osed to so­und helped­ the showb­and sound ­profession­al. We hop­e we will ­see him ag­ain in a n­ear future­, Ruslan R­usin, musi­cal direct­or
