      Hi Bengt, I cover some of these things in the trill video I did recently in the blog:

      Saxophone Trills – Some Common and Some Not So Common

      The examples you refer to are not the same thing, you are asking about 2 different things, the first one is trilling several notes one hand while holding down one note with the other hand. The other effect is what I refer to in the video as a “shake” which is very easy to do by holding down the Bb while shaking with the left hand.

        Shaking one note is easy but several after each other takes a bit more. Thanks

          yes of course but the technique is the same…
          so, one of the ones I use a lot is:
          play high Bb (bis key fingering) and trill the G note below it, now add the right hand playing F#, F and E. then go back up: E, F, F#
          all while trilling the G (and holding down the Bb)
