Not bad at all, huh? 88 is still too young to lose this man.

As for the mouthpiece, I think it is an Otto-Link. That has been the Standard with many a Jazz player, and it gives a nice warm tone. It sounds like it might be a 7* or maybe an 8. It is a round chamber mouthpiece and gives a nice even timbre throughout the various registers (Octaves) of the saxophone.

RIP, Sam. It was a great run.

@lnchmt Yeah, proves you don't have to have a Selmer--a great player can sound great on a no-name sax...

I saw these guys in Vancouver in 1978 and they did this exactly for 2 hours,,Sam played alto,tenor,flute and piano,exactly half an hour on each instrument. I still haven't recovered.
Sam is heavy. This band is heavy. That's all that needs to be said...oh, and might I add that Sam is still kicking the same ass today? Never compromise.

There is no "proper" way to play free. That's the whole point. Playing free is about not having control. Letting the ideas flow from body to body and into the instrument, with as little human interference as possible.
Free jazz wont die. It can't. Jazz without freedom is not jazz. Therefor, for one to exist, the other also has to.
