Altissimo distortion

Hey guys, I've just been wondering how you can achieve the distortion effect in the altissimo register. Currently, my altissimo register comes out clean, but I'd like to know how these great players (Brecker, Liebman, Redman, Trane etc.) achieve this effect. Is it a lip manipulation? Growling? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanx :-)
