I've never seen him play, and wouldn't exactly categorize myself as "at Sam's level", but what you describe sounds very much inline with the "pivot" technique that a lot of players use, where you basically move your whole body to change the direction of the lips, changing the direction of the air. I learned this several years ago from the late Jim Garrett, and it's been reinforced by a few other teachers all of whom were Bill Bell students, which is where I assume(yes, it's just an assumption) that this technique originated.

fwiw
