JodyJazz is a manufacturer of saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces and accessories based in Savannah, Georgia. The company was founded in 1999 by jazz saxophonist and educator Jody Espina after a collaboration with mouthpiece maker Santy Runyon in Opelousas, Louisiana, and was formally established as JodyJazz Inc. in 2000. Production was consolidated at a facility in Savannah in 2008, and the company later expanded its catalog through the acquisitions of Chedeville in 2018 and Rousseau Music Products in 2020.
The brand's saxophone mouthpiece lineup spans hard rubber, metal, and gold- or silver-plated designs across series such as the DV, DV NY, DV CHI, DV JC Jody Custom, HR*, HR* Custom Dark, JET, Super JET, Giant, Quasar, and Hand-Hammered models, covering soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone. The DV series, introduced as a metal design using proportions drawn from natural ratios, is among the company's most recognized pieces, while the JET and Super JET lines target brighter, higher-volume playing styles. JodyJazz also produces clarinet mouthpieces and the Power Ring ligature.
