I want to know how they do this special effect, but I might have difficulty in explaining exactly what it is.
It's a "special effect" that used to be often employed mainly by tenor players. Johnny Griffin used to love doing it...... a kind of wide trill, or vibrato, between two quite widely-spaced notes, but not the kind of trill you'd get by keying it......more like a "yodel" effect that is a novelty effect but shouldn't be overdone. To put it another way, it's like a kind of repeating glissando, up and down and back up, and very rapidly played.
I hope I've described it accurately enough - I'd like to have it in my armoury for very occasional use..... but does anyone know HOW ?
