I'm posting this again because it's very useful, and people have asked me about this topic. This is a fabulous post from bestsaxophonewebsiteever.com on releasing the bottom lip while playing, in order to get a bigger sound that is not muffled by the lower lip on the reed.
As Doren Orenstein says "The lower lip should not necessarily be sticking all the way out as much as it should simply serve as a support for the mouthpiece. Ideally, the lower lip is pressing against straight up against the lower teeth." - This seems to be the biggest question here when it comes to this topic.
Watch the videos. I found the links at the bottom by Rick Hirsch extremely useful. He also talks about how much mouthpiece to be using also.
Lots of great stuff.
