If Dave Matthews Band were to ever add a permanent trombone player to their horn section alongside Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross, I feel that this guy would be a good go-to for it. This guy's incredible! ❤️🎼🎵🎶

It's there clearly, black on black though, but you can see the buckle-adjustment-hoop piece on his right (our left) on his lapel and level with the knot in his tie. (I'm seeing this in the highest 1080p resolution)

What genre of of jazz is this

[@UgoNwakanma]

Did he play an overtone on trombone?

If your talking about what I think you are then yes, and it's called multiphonics, and A guy named James Morrison can play three notes at once with that technique
