Something to think about from Greg Osby's web site - might be an interesting workshop!
In nature, all things are asymetrical in their appearance, form and construction. Only man-made objects such as buildings, tools, machines etc. are made to be even and perfect for human usage. Documented music is a man-made crafting. Thus, the only so-called "off" beat would truly be within a 4/4 meter since it is entirely even and metrical -even militaristic in the way that it sounds and makes people respond.
This is why ethnic and folk musics from remote parts of the world are more organic and much more closely connected with nature as they remain unaffected by rigid meter, time and tempo restraints. These musics are actually attempts at the recreation of natural effects and symbolic representation. They also have much more advanced practices of interpreting the beat. There are also far more methods of emphasis and variation than in "civilized" music. This is why they have more complete metrical variants - as opposed to the painfully stiff Western divisions of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.
This is why I do not use terms like on and off beats. I routinely superimpose compound meters within given compositional and improvisational constructs. This sounds entirely normal to me and I have issues with musicians that only adhere to the rhythmic dictates of a given format. Music should flow like water and other non-solid elements.

Oh, by the way here is Greg Osby's thoughts on Mouthpieces.
"I have never thought of posting my set up as I don't prefer to bring emphasis to equipment. It's too easy to get caught up in those matters when proper attention should be given to study and application. I know quite a few saxophonists who spend more time changing reeds, ligatures, and mouthpieces than practicing!
Actually, whenever I have played someone else's horn I sounded exactly the same as I always do so I am convinced that body type, oral makeup and lung capacity all impact one's sound as much as (or more) than brand of saxophone and mouthpiece.
But I will post the information since there are so many requests for it.
Vandoren A75 Jumbo Java mouthpiece w/ #3M Alexander Superial "DC" reeds
Yanagisawa alto A-9930 - (silver body, brass keys) Yanagisawa alto - bronze A-992
The bronze is darker and records better but I prefer the silver one for live performances as it cuts and projects more. For an all around horn, I would say that the bronze is a better bet. I think that Yanagisawa has set a new standard for saxophones. " - Greg Osby

If he sounds the same on any horn why does he have two? Obviously there are differences that even he mentions, the same will apply for mouthpieces. I agree that it should not be obsessed on but it is all to be taken into account.
As far as the rhythmic ideas go he has very interesting ideas for sure, sounds like it could be an informative arvo and a good gig.
