Nice playing. I just had to turn my head while listening because that embouchure is absolutely ugly.

Wow, I've known Jose for 30 yrs, you guys should hear him play the tuba!!! He's a humble person,awesome player, and an even even better friend.. In highschool football games I'd make up tunes & by beat #2 Jose was in synch ( it was wild )...

@r473z0r The trick to creating the dirty sound like you're still doing it on purpose. Personally I thought some of his attacks were flat out missed which could have been because he was improvising or could have been the wonky embouchure. His feel was awesome though.

what trombone is that it looks like a king of some sort

@davtpt Totally agree - his tuba playing is unreal! Great guy, glad to have had the pleasure of playing w/him back in the day...

@BonefidePsychonaut Have you considered that maybe the "cats" aren't jsut "getting away with it", and that the dirty sound is actually part of the the musical style? And a lot of the "wet toungue sound" is the y'know, plunger mute? His playing creates an amazing, sad then happy, jazz/salsa sound, which sounds awesome given the fact that this is ALL improv

@megagodzilla25 Yes that actually is the end of a plunger with no handle. All of us jazz brass guys do it, after the toilet pipes are cleared of course.
