What is the mark that looks like a slur but with straight lines, not curved

In "Curtain Call" by John Wasson, the oboe part (and others) includes an articulation mark that I'm not familiar with. It looks like a slur, but the up and down are straight lines, instead of curved.
enter image description here



Could somebody explain to me what I'm supposed to be doing here? I've been playing it as a bit of a bend, but I'm not convinced that's correct.

          This is called the shake! It adds a short grace figure to the transition to the second note like this:
          enter image description here



          Always start the shake figure by holding the first note slightly.
          For a descending shake you then go up a step, back down to the first note, then to the second note. Notice in your example the second note of each shake has a teepee articulation, so honor that.



          On brass the shake is done with the lip.
