    This has to be one of the smoothest solos I have ever heard on trombone. This guy’s tone on high notes is ridiculously good and his ability to string together notes so smoothly is amazing.

      Yes, because the Bb above the treble clef and fast runs are easy compared to an uncommon key signature.

    This is actually achievable by mortals on the trumpet. Pedal tones are way easier than trying to hit a note that's already high on a trumpet on a trombone.

      Fingerings?? Actually, the positions are not the problem! For example if you play a D in the 4th position in a lower octave, you can also play it in 4th in the octave above. Also, most of the notes above a an F (two ledger lines above the bass clef +1 can be played in several positions. The higher you go, the more choices you have for positions.
