I was curious to compare what Morrison’s upper lip looked like (as someone who is known to play with air pockets under his upper lip) with Rosolino’s while playing, so I went back and watched some video of Morrison playing and then compared it to this video footage of Frank Rosolino. In this particular case there is an interview I found where Morrison discusses how and why he plays this way. I’ve blogged about this technique before, but in the context of trumpeter Tim Morrison. I’m generally skeptical about claims like this unless I read it from a primary source, but it is possible that Rosolino did play with air pockets under his upper lip. Joey told me the fellow he heard it from speculated that the air pockets under Rosolino’s upper lip were responsible for him occasionally “airing out” when going for high notes. Then last week while traveling to a gig with trombonist Joey Lee, he mentioned the same thing. David emailed me to ask about this and mentioned that the guy he heard it from sat in on a gig with Rosolino and noticed it.
