I can see how this technique can be confusing. It appears to me a Tremolo be a simple slide up and back down?  How about a simple Trill? Looking at the Blues standard "All Blues" has me wondering, the tab seems to indicate the tremolo indicated here is a slide. A tremolo seems to have more to do with volume changes, a change in amplitude.

Also  the tremolo bar on electric guitars is a common, but incorrectly named.  Using the bar just produces  a pitch bend not a tremolo.

I looked up “All Blues”  because a lot of Jazz sites suggested it as the place to start when learning Jazz.
