Look and listen carefully to what he is saying around 2:50 onwards. I don't see any value in retaining the vocabulary "attack". He is saying that one releases air into the instrument after positioning the tongue in the correct place to stop the airflow. NOT "attacking" a note with a syllable. Have another look and think about stopping air then releasing it rather than spitting down a tube? Each to his own :-)

and to finish, I see that his jaw, throat and tongue are not really dipping down as a "tuh" would do. It's really doing the opposite. Just look at his throat. I mean, I could ramble on and on about this topic, but he produced a lot of great horn players. It IS just my opinion and as the saying goes... "to each his own".

Not to discredit Mr. James or anything, but his whole thing on saying "tuh" to articulate, I dont agree with. When you try to articulate with just a "tuh", without proper embouchure contraction, the resulting sound is very weak and fragile. I believe that even though he means to say "tuh", he is actually pronouncing a french "tieu" to attack the note. If you look closely, you will see Mr. James, on his attacks, actually does contract the embouchure. and also "tuh" would be a low tongue placement
