E X P E R I E N C E the New Generation of Bach Stradivarius From the first Vincent Bach trumpet production in 1925 through the late 1970’s, all Bach professional trumpets incorporated two-piece valve casing construction where the bottom two-thirds were made out of yellow brass and the top third was made out of nickel silver. The late 70’s ushered in a new era of CNC machining capabilities allowing valve casings to be machined entirely out of yellow brass in one piece. From the late 1970’s through today, all “180” series Bach Stradivarius trumpets have been made using the one-piece brass casing design.

The year 2010 marked the introduction of the newest generation of Bach Stradivarius trumpets: the “190” series. This series is built using a vintage two-piece valve casing design. Two-piece valve casings provide more feedback to the player, a quicker response, and more color in the sound. The model 190S43 is the latest offering in the “190” series Bach Stradivarius trumpets.

HOW SAXOPHONIST

JessyJ UPGRADED HER SOUND WITH

Jessy J is one of the hottest contemporary jazz musicians of the 21st century. With numerous televised performances and awards, including the No. 1 Album on the Billboard Jazz charts in 2011, the future is bright for Jessy J. Her most recent release, 2016’s California Christmas, spent three weeks at number one on the SmoothJazz charts. In addition to being an active songwriter and performer, she also takes the time to participate in events that give back to the community and enjoys empowering young women through music education. In her exclusive interview with Music & Arts, Jessy J talks about the saxophone and some of her favorite accessories.

What was the “a-ha” moment when you knew it was time for a professional instrument?

I was 15 years old and my saxophone tutor at the time knew that I wanted to become a professional musician. He had a heart to heart talk with my mom about purchasing a Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone (which I still play to this day).

Jessy’s PICKS

Did the professional instrument help you find your tone?

The professional instrument helped define my sound as did listening to the jazz greats like Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley. I loved Cannonball’s sound and tried to emulate it on my sax.

Why is the Selmer Mark VI such a beloved saxophone among professional players?

The material that it is made from gives it a rich deep tone and makes the instrument extra sturdy from wear and tear. I love the character of the sound.

What are the differences between your mouthpiece, the Otto Link 7*, and other mouthpieces on the market?

Otto Link Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece 0105832 | $209.99

I enjoy my Otto Link 7* on Tenor Sax because that’s the same set up that John Coltrane used, I also play a Selmer ligature that is fabulous. I can tell you it has lasted for several years without being replaced. I love the classic sounds from the 1950’s and 60’s so I basically use the equipment that was available then.

You play on Plasticover D’Addario reeds. What are the telltale signs of a good professional reed?

I can tell if it’s a good reed right away. I don’t try to “fix” reeds, either they speak right away or they go into the trash. I find that the Plasticover reeds are the most consistent for my outdoor jazz festivals. I also use La Voz reeds on my alto saxophone for a warm tone.
