If the outside voices are playing straight tone, and the inside voice is using vibrato, believe me, if you are the one playing straight to, you will want to shoot the vibrato playing fool.
Situation: Hairspray musical. Horns: Tpt, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax. I'm playing Tenor. On every chord, especially on chords with crescendo, the rat Alto player always put on this God awful 1920 vibrato, wide and obnoxious. Thanks for letting me rant. Glad it's over.
I guess the moral of the story is, know your situation. You could have the most beautiful vibrato, but if it's out of context and not appropriate to the music, it will not be appreciated the way you would hope.
