Doc Severinsen on the Mike Douglas Show in 1967. Doc plays a couple numbers & does one with Mike.

Well done, nice handy work. Thanks for uploading a goodie, of which I was unaware.

Classic Doc! The best musician (on any instrument) that I ever worked with. I was his Conductor & Pianist from 1978-1983. 'Doc' and his Lead trumpet player, Snooky Young, took me under their wing & showed me the ropes. They were both Impeccable every night - and helped turn a 22 year kid into a fully realized Musician. His daughter, Nancy, was on the road with us as a background & featured Singer. She also sang at my first wedding in Los Angeles in 1979. Doc is still killin' it - and the documentary is terrific! Thanks for the memories...

Thanks for sharing. That's such lovely story.

[@kdm71291]

You are blessed!

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

Snooky was the lead player? I always thought it was Conte Condoli.

[@pacobonastre7937]

Siempre me encanto su increíble afinación y desemboltura un gran trompetista de los mejores del mundo

[@richarddawes9100]

The best ever love the Doc!!

[@doninmichigan]

How cool, I hadn't seen this before, and damn, Doc was smokin' even way back then! 😎

[@davidpoppenhagen4278]

Powerful perfection he.was born to play the trumpet

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see early Doc.

[@markthomas1269]

Complete, total, absolute mastery of the instrument. And the purest tone to have ever been produced this side of heaven.

[@cdstoc]

No kidding about that pure tone. I saw him live several times in the late 70's and early 80's, he was amazing.

[@artvandelay8090]

The greatest trumpet player ever by far.

[@ColinMroczko]

I agree.

[@5saxman7]

No way.

[@gsman5828]

What an awesome find. Thanks for posting!

[@marklerner6154]

Love his tone on the Getzen Eterna. Scintillating!

[@dwerden]

Agreed!

[@mhenrikse]

I love his sound. Unbelievable trumpet player in his prime. Thanks for posting this!

[@kattrakee]

I love you, DOC ♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

[@getzenfan]

Wonderful! Thanks, David. I believe Nancy was the co-producer of the Doc Severinsen Documentary, “Never Too Late” which is being shown at virtual music festivals around the country. Still waiting to get a DVD copy of the program if it becomes available.....or an on-demand version. Nancy Severinsen also sang with Doc’s Now Generation Brass group as a vocalist in Today’s Children accompanying Doc both on the road in on some of his recordings.

Saw it online. It was great

My hero

On this day I turned 5!

[@waybackj]

The Master

[@jamescherney5874]

He never sounded better than on the stock Getzen horn. He was playing a Schilke mouthpiece too.

[@tomschlueter7034]

Bach screw rim mouthpiece, variation on a Mt. Vernon 5C I believe.

[@jamescherney5874]

You got better eyes than me.

[@movieboy27]

It's a Jet-Tone

[@tripjet999]

Isn't Doc still performing?

[@dwerden]

Only on his own terms, I think. He is not touring as far as I know, but still plays with Gil Cartas. Can't guarantee that info!

The microphoning on this is bad.
