James Carter, Arno Haas, Jody Espina Jam at NAMM 2014 (JodyJazz)

James Carter and Arno Haas Trade fours with Jody Espina at the JodyJazz Booth at NAMM 2014. Jody Espina playing a JodyJazz DV Alto 8 with Rico Jazz Select 3M reed, Arno Haas playing the JodyJazz Giant 7* and James Carter playing unbelievably. Also playing are Howard Paul on Benedetto Guitar and Jennifer Leitham, Hohner Bass.

My position as a mouthpiece maker has given me many opportunities to play with the greatest players in the world like George Garzone, Tom Scott, Ed Calle, Andy Snitzer and so many others. But of course that is always a very scary thing, playing with the best players in the world. In this exchange with James Carter and Arno Haas, you can see when I try and duke it out and when I just surrender.
