ZZ Reeds

The slogan for the new Vandoren-Paris' ZZ line of jazz saxophone reeds is "There is No Jazz Without ZZ." A play on the word "Jazz," to be sure, but ZZ reeds are already proving that, to many saxophonists, there really is no Jazz without ZZ reeds. Vandoren's ZZ reeds, available for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone, feature a unique relationship between the heart of the reed, where the tone is produced, and the thickness of the tip, which is responsible for vibration. The result is a reed with extraordinary tone, with immediate response in a free-blowing manner - even in the altissimo range. The ZZ concept is to fit in-between the Java and the V-16. Stronger tip then the Java but not as strong as the V-16. This is the first time that Vandoren has made a Jazz Baritone reed. Professional saxophonists like L.A. recording artist Gary Foster, Delmark recording artist Frank Catalano, and many others have since switched to the ZZ reed for their performances and recordings.
