Hey, the guy did a real nice job on the solo, and merely used a 
subtle slide vibrato to add a bit more warmth to some of the long 
notes. (I have a Vienna-trained friend who would have used lip 
vibrato in the same situation!) How can you even compare this to the 
mile-wide wobbly vibrato of an opera singer?
