Listen to James Morrison soloing with the Black Dyke band and prepare to be awed:

Plays two instruments with multiple notes per instrument!

Wow, pretty awesome for a white guy in a tux. Just make sure to cover your ears when the band is playing....

I never was a James Morrison or even close but trumpet-trombone is a gig I had for 20 years. Playing both horns is not a problem if you do it a lot. Going back and forth between two different size mouthpieces is something our lips can be accustomed to and can become quite comfortable over time.
On Bourbon St. in New Orleans, there was a guy who could clasp a valve trombone and a trumpet together in his hands with the mouthpieces just inches apart and quickly blow the bejesus out of either horn.

Trumpet-tuba, however is a problem for me - due to my advancing age as well as the wide disparity between the two sizes of the mouth pieces.
Thank you, DonShirer, for the opportunity to hear these wonderful players.

Yeah, just like most professional orchestras' brass sections.

What a politically correct pedestrian comment.

If you like multiphonics this is a much better example for a tuba related site (yes I kow this has been linkd before).

I saw him play this at the USABTEC a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it enough to buy the CD on he spot. Although I think his perfrmance of Winter from The Four Seasons was probably more reason to buy it.

Missed my point. His comment was of the "white men can't jump" variety. Which is pretty silly considering that white men more than hold their own when it comes to brass playing.
