This technique is called "circular breathing". Storing air in the cheeks and mouth and pushing it through the horn while inhaling through the nose, kinda like bagpipes. It's incredibly difficult to do at all, let alone maintain a good tone while doing. I mean, many musicians out there can do it, but Shorty is really, really good at it. It's just usually not necessary unless you want to show off, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Shorty is AMAZING, and as a trumpet player, I am jealous of his abilities, especially this one.
