"My JodyJazz DV tenor mouthpiece has a strong, fast response, with a modern sound, yet I can still get a warm subtone quality whenever I want. Easy to blow with a very focused tone, the DV, also has a third dimension to the sound that I've never encountered in any mouthpiece before. I couldn't be more happy. Way to go Jody!"

"In 2003, a bright new voice made her recording debut as a leader. Ada Rovatti is a fluent post-bop tenor and soprano saxophonist with attractive sounds on her instruments, a creative improvising style, and plenty of spirit."

"Whether burning down the house (on the swinging "Fourth Step") or persuading earnestly (on the gorgeous "Where is Home"), Rovatti’s voice is a fresh addition that should garner her much-deserved respect.."
