Q.:  *Tone: What is the key to your tone quality?

A.:  Here are three very basic, but potentially very effective, suggestions: 1) listen, a lot, to great saxophonists with great sounds. 2) practice long tones. 3) pay attention to your tone. (Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how easy it is, especially when confronting the complexities and demands of modern jazz, to get caught up in other things and lose awareness of your sound...)
