@CookmanT: It's a custom made Greg Black mouthpiece he made for me in 1994! About the size of a 4G but different. I am still playing on it and Greg is on working on a new one right now.
@trombonema: The legato is a combination of a really good air flow and a fast and accurate slide action all that with a very gentle tonguing. You see, its a bit complicated to explain here. Basically: Practise a lot and study with a really good teacher. What also helps is to listen to a lot of really great singers: Fritz Wunderlich, Jussy Björling, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Pavarotti and so on. Listen to them, hear what they do and try to copy that. That is what I did a lot. Good luck!
Hello there, TRULY AMAZINGLY PERFORMED- I am currently studying for my diploma and haven't come across a player with such elegance! I am after the music of this movement 2 (and piano accompaniment too!) for a local slow melody competition and was wondering if you had any idea of where I could get this from??!
smooth, beautiful and clear legato, this is THE sound!

There are two ways of thinking of legato. The fast way like you said, or the Jay Friedman way that actually is slower.
What mouthpiece did u use for this song?
