I am not familiar with that book. These syllables remind me of Jimmy Maxwell’s “The First Trumpeter.” He uses these syllables in his book for tunes such as "Dirty Gertie," "Toastie Woastie," and "Dot-N-Da-Dah." I once studied briefly with a trumpet teacher who used them, which seemed to help. However, what really helped the most for me was listening to the recordings and trying to imitate the style. The combination of a lot of listening over a period of time with syllables sounds like a good option.
