That's how I do that gliss without even lifting a single finger. Although I said 'lip it' in the previous reply, there's more going on - hence the bit where I said 'it's all in the chops' earlier still.

Same with the 'Begin the Beguine' gliss - done with the chops more than anything no matter what key it's played in, but my preferred key to play that is Concert D Major.
