I find that employing vibrato works the chops more! I get more tired more
quickly using it. I also think it helps intonation and ear training.
Repeatedly departing from pitch and having to return CONSISTENTLY to it is
a challenge all its own.

I also find that, although I prefer to use vibrato when playing in a solo
setting (a little for classical, a lot for jazz), when playing in a section
I never use it. I automatically switch to more of a "matching section
intonation" mode instead.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
