I've never understood why so many people puff their cheeks while they play. It murders your tone, honestly.
That's pretty cool though.

I dunno, they've always done well with it. Then again, It's Jazz, so..it's like. who cares? technical shit wasn't all that back then. If by murderering the tone, you mean muffling it, perhaps that is on purpose.
you'll have to ask someone who plays jazz horn.
Brass instruments aren't really my thing, I prefer string.

It doesn't muffle it, it just makes it worse. You can, of course, have good tone with cheek-puffing but it just seems like unnecessary work. It also lessens your control of your airflow, so it's a lot easier to overblow and make some really nasty sounds. If you want to muffle your tone, you can use a mute, your hand, or your music stand, depending on the kind of sound you want.
Of course there are a lot of amazing players who do really batshit things but it doesn't matter because they're amazing anyway. Lester Young, for instance, held his saxophone in the most ridiculous uncomfortable-looking way imaginable, but it didn't seem to effect him. They're the exception, not the rule though.

Better than honkies at: dancing, music, and fucking white women.
