| description | South Africa is known for having its own distinctive jazz music sound of which the saxophone is a significant feature. The saxophone has often been recognised world-wide as a symbolic jazz instrument and has also played an important role in South African jazz. As the embouchure of the saxophone is crucial to its sound production, it stands to reason that it plays a role in producing this distinctive South African jazz sonority. The purpose of this study is to understand the role of the embouchure in producing the ‘South African jazz saxophone sound’, and to find a common trend in saxophonists. |
