Playing the saxophone Upper G/G# Resonating

[MikeMorrell]

I bow to jbt's expertise on this but I had a similar problem playing Naima (BOTM) switching from quick (high) F to high G. The G tone was a bit unpredictable. OK, I'm a beginner but what helped me was to practice (and set) my embouchure/mouth /throat for high G. The other high notes were OK with the same settings and the high G came out more predictably.

Try more breath support for G#/G.

Also, be sure that the body ovtave vent is not blocked.
