RE: Glissando

Having just performed Rhapsody in Blue several time, most recently, last month. Here is how you do it.
You can't gliss over the break. The gliss in the Gershwin usually starts on the second octave D ending on the C, before that you just play a smooth scale then as v12-5 you pull your fingers off the holes while you bend each not. To bend each not you really do it the position of your tounge and throat. So it is a smooth transition from each note. Once you get, you pray it works when you really need it.
