There was a piece about a Jazz Horn player on NPR, that was very good that I heard a couple years ago. I heard it and found it very informative. Tom Varner studied Jazz Horn with a former member of the Basie big band, I believe. He has a some interesting experiences, saying at one point in the interview "Playing horn is like trying to dance a ballet- on ice- in your socks." Might be worth listening to.
