Is his considered a "smile" embouchure?

Definitely not. Dude's solid.

Both of those tunes are fun, and surprisingly tough to nail down. Not just Dorsey's stuff - the ensemble stuff is tricky.

I always think of "Getting Sentimental Over You" by Dorsey. What a beautiful, velvety tone he had. Sometimes my fellow Salvation Army trombonist friend and I would try to play like Dorsey. Couldn't do it.

Stability wise this is a much harder piece to play than IGSOY - by a good margin.  Also not as satisfying, but a good practice piece nonetheless - you may have to play it some day.

Did this with a H&B style solotone mute recently.  Trumpets asked, "What the heck were you doing out there with this creepy high tone?"
