Absolutely the mouthpiece is resting on padded and cushioned embouchure

[@texasredneck9226]

When I played using 2/3upper lip it always lead to lip tearing. Met and studied with Jerry Callet who change my embouchure. Move mp down to 1/3 upper 2/3 lower. Solved problems.

ChuckPD says it is: BILL BYRNE =>Anyone know who the Alto player is that takes the solo at @1:48 ? It is obviously Bill Byrne or Don Mohr, I'd like to know which one.

I saw Herbig sub for Steve Marcus in Buddy’s band 1980’s Disneyland

[@georgekilroy2670]

Next night Don Menza subbed-unreal player!

[@texasredneck9226]

Harry was a phenomenal trumpeter. Just wish he had updated his repertoire. He could have pushed the up and comers, great technician...

[@georgekilroy2670]

Unfortunately His audience probably wouldn’t have accepted it. Why Buddy left to pursue his own muse, and the rest is history. Buddy didn’t rely on one or two writers but often young guys in the band like Bob Mintzer, Rocasano, etc…

[@ironmandave3000]

His embouchure is very similar to that of Sergei Nakariakov.

[@loumcconnell503]

Sergei probably copied Harry !
