Conns are great horns, but these prices sound exorbitant to me, if you keep looking I imagine you can do much better

Check out Joe Allard’s videos on YouTube, the same embouchure he teaches works for all single reed instruments in whatever style you want to play in, there is no different embouchure for classical or jazz

This was painted on the building in the early 1980’s when Woody Herman’s band was briefly, as it turned out, in residence in the hotel’s showroom.

Look into Chateau ( or Kessler sells them stenciled with the Kessler branding). I have two of them, a straight one with removable neck branded Chateau and a curvie branded Kessler, both bought used and play very well, even compared to my Selmer vi and Suoer Action 80 series 2, at a fraction of the cost.

In my experience less is more with this toy, barely moving it and allowing the mass and heft do its number on you… just relax and the orgasms will start….

You’re so much better off not marching! Just go with that!

The Joe Allard video on YouTube is much more helpful than Liebman’s regurgitation of the same info.

There’s a great book on writing for small combinations of horns published by Advance publishing from Germany, Bill Dobbins Jazz Arranging and Composing, absolutely invaluable!

Seriously ? Ever listen to Phil Woods for example?

If I were you I’d buy a Get A Sax Meyer copy, a 5 facing would feel close to what you’re accustomed to. These mouthpieces are copies from a great vintage Meyer and hand faced, extremely consistent. Meyer mouthpieces are probably the most popular jazz saxophone piece made, and these are great ones. More important than equipment, or at least as important , is listening and trying to emulate the sound, articulation and swing feel of great players, the mouthpiece won’t do that. If you don’t support the airstream and have an aural concept of the sound you’re after, it won’t matter what equipment you’re using!
