I was really wrong about how Miley made those sounds; was expecting him to be doing the plunger mute thing. At the start of The Mooche it was all lip, tongue and humming in his throat, or a combination, with nary a flick of that rod cone shoved in the bell.

actually, I don't think that's Miley - and if it is, they are not playing "live," so you can't really judge the technique.

According to Mark Cantor the Vitaphone shorts were done "live" until 1931. (And as far as I'm concerned Mark is the maven when one in any jazz on film discussion.)
