Carlyle Weber of the US Army Field Band many years ago demonstrated how one might play this popular solo three different ways. One with just an okay sound, one with projection and vibrato, and the third using legato tonguing. This video was uploaded in 2012 but pretty sure it’s at least 25 yrs old. Carlyle played with the Field Band for 23 years and has been retired at least 20 yrs I think.
