Tom see Harvey Pittel, that is what i was trying to explain in the other post. ie. top lip against the top teeth, notice the chin. no bunching.

Of all the players, his embouchure most closely resembles that of a clarinet embouchure. See how the corners turn up. All of the others have the corners turned down more or less. I have added a few more photos to the post that I missed before.

that's what I was taught also, I had a bit difficulty with this because I transferred from clarinet to sax (I had to play one year clarinet first...) So I my teacher said I could practice it with an empty beer bottle, if you "whistle" on a bottle like a panflute and you should have the correct embouchure for sax...
