it easy! Overblow the B (all fingers) to get the G, do this by playing B and just 'knocking' the G# key then just gliss (aka rhapsody in blue) to high G using the overblown E fingering remember its over 5 bars or so

Sorry, I must be missing something here. That gliss toward the end goes from G to high G - how does overblowing the B work? I realize I might be missing something and am also eager to figure out a good way of doing it. You can overblow the all fingered B and get the G right above the staff?

Someone can correct me, but I generally do it by squeezing down a little harder and further down on the reed and pushing more air through the horn. For example, you get get the high A by overblowing the altissimo E.

Still not sure how overblowing the all-fingered B is going to get to either of the Gs in the Shaw Concerto gliss.
