Let's take the idea of "blocked breath" occuring because of breathing through the middle of the mouth. J.H. explains that you are kind of working against the air that is present in your mouth which "blocks" exhaling..
This is precisely what makes no sense to me. If you are stopping your breath at the point of the vocal folds, and have the sax mouthpiece in position, there is no point of vacuum or blockage between those vocal folds and the body of the sax, so what possible use can there be in trying to release air from the mouth, sides or otherwise!?
