Well, you must know that many artists are influenced by others and have many of those artists atributes. Really, I don't know if I'm on the right track here, you already have you're own sound. No sax sounds the same on 2 different people. Also, a person's sound also depends on the frases he or she uses, besides, for example, the brightness of their tone, which is given by your sax, your reeds, your mouthpice and you. I hope this was helpfull.
Finding your own sound (voice)!
Hey wuz up folks? I have been playing the sax for about 9 yrs now. I am on a yanagisawa metal 7 mouthpiece with rico jazz selects 2m. I am trying to find my own personal sound. I notice that I have a pretty bright sound when I am playing. The thing is I have a feeling that I tend to sound like most other players around my skill level. I am trying to get my tone to the point where people can say hey that is Iceman (just using my username as an example). I am trying to get a sound between Dave Koz and Kirk Whalum. I have been playing along with people, but I don't know how much that is helping. People have told me I sound nice. I am just trying to get my personal sound to where I can be satisfied.
