    How he does it: He plays normally while humming to get 2 notes at once. The 3rd one comes from throat singing, allowing you to make 3 sounds at once. VERY talented man right here.

    Just to additionally clarify:
    When you do brass multiphonics (play one note, sing another), it usually only sounds like 2 notes. However, there are larger intervals where the resultant 3rd interval will pop out if you sing/play in tune. The clearest/easiest example is one of the ones James uses in this video, which is singing a note an 11th (1 octave+a 4th) above the note you're playing. If you are in tune with yourself, the note in between them comes out without you having to do anything. The resultant note doesn't project nearly as well singing a 10th (1 octave+a 3rd) above like James is doing for most of the video, though you can get your ear to hear it better if you start on the 11th and resolve to the 10th. Anyone who can do multiphonics in tune can easily get 3 notes to sound with that interval.
    Now, if he was getting 3 clear notes on smaller intervals, then you could claim throat singing or other vocal trickery. But this isn't that.
    P.S. Multiphonics themselves actually aren't that difficult, you just have to mess around with them for a little while until you learn how to keep both notes stable. It's harder to do a long string of them like he's doing, but in terms of extended brass techniques it's really not too bad and anyone can do it. Circular breathing is much harder IMO.
    P.P.S. Why don't you hear brass players do them anywhere but the occasional unaccompanied solo (such as in this video)? Because they are not loud and are completely lost in an ensemble (not to mention very unstable to tune with or against). Woodwind multiphonics are a different beast that (especially in the case of the saxophone) can be used effectively over an ensemble.

      I play trombone, one way to make 3 sounds is to sing, and double buzz. Which is buzzing your lips to make one sound but also buzzing your bottom lip with the bottom of your mouthpiece. Its a very difficult technique to play 3 notes, but it does work. You can also triple buzz. So technically, if you are REALLY good at trombone, you can play 4 notes at the same time.

    Even with just two notes, many people might not realize just how difficult this actually is. I've never practiced it extensively by any means but the several times I've tried, I've found the sound of the horn doesn't come our unless I'm humming an over tone (same note, different octave), because basically, you're forcing two different pitches, two very different wavelengths thru the same tool to explain the physics behind it. I've found it difficult to make both waves resonate thru the entire instrument and out of the bell unless I play and hum the same note.

    The note is called an “undertone”, it happens when you play 2 notes at the same time and create a very low pitched note. The way he did it is by Humming the Middle note and Playing the high note, which then generates the lowest note.

Anyway, he'd show up from time to time and "help out" with band practice, which more often than not meant he took over band practice and the regular teacher/conductor, Mr Stephenson, just stepped back and watched and tried not to let his mouth hang open.

    I have no idea if anyone posted this here, but here we go:
    1st note is the basic buzz, just the usual brass stuff.
    2nd note is poliphonics or watever it's called in english. It happens when you sing along the usual buzz on the instrument.
    3rd note is caused by the vibration of each lip on a different frequency. You usually see this done unintentionally by new brass players, when they sound like a duck quacking. It takes a reeeeaaal great bit of skill to do it intentionally, like mr. Morrisson is doing here.
    If you are a brass player and wanna learn this, you can do it by going in between two "fixed" notes on the harmonics of you instrument, independent of the tunning. It's like "surfing" the ghost note (or, again, whatever it's called in english) untill you get two distinct and clear notes.
    If anybody is interested, or if there is any request on the replies I can try to learn the technique and post a video about it...

      I figured out how to do the third note, buzz with your tongue all at the same time and you get the three pitches. Its super hard , like F@#! hard. Buzz with you tongue like you are trying to imitate a car sound and the humming. The fact he has all that range while doing it still blows my mind though

    Also trombonist, In simple terms, you have single played notes, sung multi-phonics (singing while playing,) and split tone multi-phonics (embouchure technique using a double buzz to produce multiple notes.)
    Depending on what interval you play or sing, you can create other pitches, for example: if you play a "c" and sing an "E" at the same time, perfectly tuned to that C, you will hear a pedal fundamental note created with the two notes you are also producing vocally and with your embouchure. Brass instruments are wild fun.

    I once played trumpet on stage with James Morrison. He did a performance with a bunch of students from local high school bands, I was lucky enough to be selected. It was great, but I was so nervous I'm honestly not sure any sound actually made it out of my trumpet. Which might have been for the best.
    Anyway, that's my biggest claim to fame.
