Doc Severinsen - "Stardust"

[@kittyhawk8646]

HAPPY AND HEALTHY NINETY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY TODAY DOC! 🎉🎺🎊🥂

[@gregburris9972]

THAT'S what a trumpet is supposed to sound like! Always thought so. He's been my trumpet hero for 50 years or so. And still playing amazingly well, especially for 90+ years old! Rock on, Doc!

[@ftoniaromano6480]

Wasn't it always a treat to stay up late...or sneak downstairs to the only TV,...and watch Johnny & Ed & Doc really having fun while doing their job? And the guests were great, It was such a marvelous show! I feel lucky to watch these clips. Every so often a surprise guest like Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra. I feel like I grew up in a great age of TV! (And no buying an expensive cable or wireless service. Just buy the TV, plug it in, & adjust the rabbit ears!)

[@kittyhawk8646]

Absolutely! My thoughts exactly!🎺

[@dwilliams2068]

Can't believe that tone. I played cornet from grade school into college but never made notes like he does and never heard them from someone else. He played a concert here in town a few years ago and I was able to have a conversation with him. A really down to earth person!

[@dwilliams2068]

Yes, I thought Harry James was incredible, but would have to vote for Doc. Now if I could just remember the fingering . . . .

[@mike89128]

One of the great American Standards which have held up over the decades. Doc's and the vocals by Jo Stafford are the standards everyone is measured by.

[@edschneiderWisdom]

Shades of a bygone era, shades of the best ever, The Tonight Show with the master, Johnnie Carson! Doc and the boys could wail!

[@maurodecamposjunior7646]

Inigualável.

[@louswire]

This is a fine example of the music I grew up with. My mother entertained us with songs like this and I still like hearing it now and then, Doc was special... His interpretations, and the charts he and his band played to were so ... I dunno... tight. Always spot on.

[@19401341]

Such control. This is the best version of Stardust I've ever heard and I've heard a lot including Al Hirt's beautiful rendition.

[@walkerpercy8702]

Check out Buddy Hackett's version

[@leonardjones9110]

I watched this guy all the time as a kid. He was so awesome.

[@EricJamesHanson]

So nice...these old Command recordings were the best of their day for sound quality too. It is hard to imagine that this dates from the sixties, but it does.

[@Forevertrue]

That guitarist was exquisite! Doc will be one of the greatest forever!

[@TheChianello]

Yes, it reminds me of The Three Suns of the 1950's!

Thanks Doc. Long Live...

[@steviebkhall]

Beautiful.Thanks.Peace

[@clydeb7713]

Beautiful classic American music.

[@patriciaburns8936]

He was without a doubt the best trumpet player ever! I love all of his music.

A beautiful song, a beautiful rendition. Thank you. 🎺

My parents wedding song. 1936. Thanks

[@francescocele6479]

Great interprétation ( as Always !) N'y this great trumpeter !! Shine sound like a diamant perfect technique ans control of thé instrument.... Magic !!! Thanks for mister Carmichael for write this beautiful song ans thanks Tom mister Severinsen tt play this song so nice! FC

[@leelarson107]

Doc's idol was The Maestro Harry James. Harry would have been proud of his devoted fan.

[@johngray1253]

Doc played much better than Harry James I think that's just my opinion commenting: Barbara Gray

[@samhofheins1916]

Sounds really nice

[@billelsbury2861]

wow ! the best !!!!!

[@buster757]

You are so correct! Another good example is Enoch Light's Persuasive Percussion. Command records meant excellent sound quality and a very good signal to noise ratio.

[@JoaquimAssisMelo]

Doc executa seu Trompete, colocando a alma nos lábios. Esse, como diria meu antigo Mestre: " Toca com gosto". Esplêndido.

[@janzwiggelaar8231]

Wat een mooie toon Prof. Dr. Jan Zwiggelaar,

Thank you very much!!

Thanks.

[@권혁순-e5j]

정말로 감동적입니다.정렬적인 연주 좋아요,,,

[@janzwiggelaar8231]

Doc wat speel toch mooi. Prof. Dr. Jan Zwiggelaar.

[@colinball9032]

gorgeous, even better than the original and that's saying something

[@KingOfRock61]

Nice tribute, but why has no one ever uploaded Doc's greatest LP in my opinion from 1965, High - Wide & Wonderful, which has him playing 2 trumpets at the same time on every track. Now that would be awesome to hear.

[@TheChianello]

Ain't Necessarily So, was featured on his Command Performances album.

[@jeffgilbert6907]

great

[@roxylebon]

bellissima |!||| Dove sta questa orchestra ??

[@TheChianello]

I think they were studio musicians assembled by producer Enoch Light for ABC records.

[@MJ2420]

Is it possible for a trumpet to sound better than this? I think not.

[@robertdiotalevi6073]

May we quiet please? The Doctor is operating.....

[@tonysalvatore2608]

Pure Trumpet .. but give a listen to Clark Terry 1967 AMEN

[@ritva-kaarinamerila6151]

No bad...

[@TheChianello]

So who plays better?

[@AlexanderCruz-nb7bg]

Good version, but I like Clifford browns version the most.

[@HADJEE]

Yes, Clifford was amazing!
