[TPIN] Auxiliary / Backward fingering (WAS: 20 Greatest...)

[Daniel,John]

I would be curious to know exactly what he was talking 
about as well.  Just as an opening guess, I think he's 
talking about using 7th and 9th partial fingerings much 
more than most trumpet players normally do.  The first 
time I heard Faddis live he was playing a lot of high C's 
1st valve, which is a 9th partial fingering.  I've been 
using more of these every since. High b 12, Bb 23 etc can 
get rid of some nasty lip slurs if we've been avoiding 
practicing them lately:)
