That's cool. Are you a drummer?
Back when I in high school in the mid 80's, Bill came to our school and conducted a week long jazz clinic with our band.
We played his charts and performed a concert on the weekend.
I play trombone. I even played the tuba in one of his tunes.
He has this technique that he has mastered called 'circular breathing'.
Allows you to blow a note indefinitely without stopping to take a breath like normal.
Bill also did this thing where he would sing notes through his trombone while playing. Very unusual and interesting sound. The trombone and the voice combined would create an 'overtone' third note and create a chord tone.
Really strange.
