remember the sizzle

Well I can't remember the post but the few folks that took part with comments will.
Please direct me to it. About 6 months or a year ago.

The post had to do with someone attending a workshop or lessen with a major player (could have been a trombonist) that mentioned developing a sizzle/crackle/sparkle in the tone - which in my mind the discussion had to do with resonance/overtones. Maybe it had to do with some players having to dark of a sound and what this resulted in out in the house. I want to hear different and unique ways players describe this edge on the tone.

Anyone remember related threads?

Jim Marky gave a lecture at a conference a couple of weeks ago.

It's available on youtube, if you're interested I'll dig up the link.

If I remember correctly, he said he thought of three components to tone: core, warmth, and brilliance; he assessed his students for which one they needed to work on and assigned exercises to improve it.
