I really like what you have to say about legato articulation, but I wanted more. I am just a beginner, I'm figuring out what's the difference between a slur and legato? If a piece of music has a slur notated, does tongue play any part in controlling the airstream between notes? How else is the airstream controlled from note to note in, for example the Cichowitz airflow studies? In such a way as to produce a clean ending of each now and beginning of the next? Thanks for the great information here and I'm looking forward to more.
I saw a clinic on here not long ago by Jon Froelich said that Ed Kleinhammer said that the Chicago trombones never used any other articulation than a Dahh tongue for everything,their legato was just a softer dah ,the only time a other T tongues was used was for sfzz tongue ?
thanks so much cuz i have the legatos on my summer packet for band but it didn’t give a good tutorial for how to make the sound
Air speed also important. good mention (about high/low playing, compression is there already high, etc.)
Air speed?
What exactly are you referring to?
Thank you for this very interesting discussion. Re tension, I would add the Alexander Technique to the approaches and possible help you mention.

Are there any specific reference monitors you’d recommend?
I use the Audio Technica ATH-M50x. The Sony MDR-7506 is also widely used in the industry.
