First time I hear about the U-blocking, was in reference to a chromatic player who's name became associated with this technique -- Leo Diamond. Don't know much about him, but I have it from Chrom tech James McKenzie that the U-block required different tuning since it tended to play the notes flatter.
Certainly the Chicago-style chrom players often do side-hole tongueblocking.
