loweredsixth is an unknown quantity at this point
Actually, this question is all over the place. Let me se if I can express myself better.

I've been playing trumpet/cornet for 20 years. Every warm up activity or technical activity that I have done has come from a classically trained musician. I was just wondering if there was anything wrong with that.

As I think about it, here are some differences:

1. Jazz players probably play louder on average than classical players.
2. Jazz players probably change their sound within a piece more often than classical players.
3. The amount of actual playing jazz players do is probably more consistent from concert to concert than orchestral players.
4. The style of tonguing is definitely different for jazz players and classical player.

I don't know. Maybe all of this is nonsense. If it is, I'm sorry to waste your time.
