Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": There are five different types of chairs in this hotel room.

All that means is to either hold the note or to add vibrato (shake the note up and down, like small bends up and down). For an example of vibrato listen to Warren's solos on Cortez The Killer on Central Park.

Most of the time you come across it it'll mean vibrato.
