I must assume that you have not watched the 11 minute Saxologic video posted above.

But if you'd EVER heard Pete Fountain play (also posted above) you hear many moments of a repeated note that sound both slightly covered and then immediately uncovered (almost like a trumpet player using a hat mute).

We are only putting forth HOW that is done, not whether it is standard, classical methodology.

It is harder to pick this differential out of the Charlie Parker example on both the Saxologic video and actual Charlie Parker playing...........but the difference in the overall style WITH and WITHOUT ghost tonguing should be obvious.

Not to confuse this too much, there is also a technique where you play a repeated note with every other note using the technique of opening up vent keys that only slightly change the quality and intonation of that note............similar sound.........similar use.

Though as a classical clarinet player I have never had to incorporate this into my technique, it is nice though to know how it is done.
