😃I would love to have you as a *_SUBSCRIBER_* on my channel! Lots of trumpet solos and lessons: bit.ly/2OMTQmZ

[@stephenspencer4672]

Doc ant band weren't featured nearly enough on the Tonight Show. What a fabulous musical ensemble they were.😊❤

[@MaynardFreek]

Look at his breathing and phrasing. He always has more air than needed to play any phrase. He told me personally that was the real secret!

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Yes that and the 5-6 hours of daily practice he did all those years!

[@immanuellasker4273]

@@TRUMPETSIZZLE yes that and titanium lips plus steel jaw

[@johnflorio3052]

Perfect embouchure. Perfect breathing. Perfect technique.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Yup

[@harrymills2770]

He's taking a lot of extra breaths. He's puttin' a lot of air through that horn, to get that tone.

[@bobkain350]

Just watched the PBS documentary, "It's Never Too Late", on Doc done a few years ago. Can't imagine anyone more dedicated to playing an instrument than Doc, and the workout regime that he performs in order to be able to continue to play so amazingly well into his 90's is a testament to that dedication. Definitely one of a kind, and what a gift he is to the rest of us.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

I will have to check it out...

[@josephbarbera9220]

I got to see Maynard play live three times in the 70s, my one regret never had to chance to see this incredible performer play live. Thanks for sharing!

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Well you got to see the world's greatest trumpet player play just coming off his peak. If you had seen Maynard at any time in the 60's or before, ...WOW! So, Doc would have definitely impressed you, but not nearly as much as Maynard. Don't forget that it was Maynard that came to the rescue when Doc couldn't cut it in Charlie Barnett's orchestra!

[@pdqmusic3873]

@@TRUMPETSIZZLE Really? I don't know that story regarding Charlie Barnett. Could you please elaborate?

[@jswilley3673]

I admire Maynard....but doc had rich and rounded tones. Thanks Doc

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

ummmmmmm....

[@davidgaugamela9801]

Talent, showmanship, work ethic, humble.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Seems about right

[@allenrussell1947]

Back in the early 1980s he came to the University of Tennessee for a concert and master class. All the students were asking him mundane questions about equipment and embrochure. My turn came up and I asked "how do I get your job?". He chuckled and said "get a new wardrobe".

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

haha sounds like a typical response from Doc!

[@BerlinTravelApp]

So clean and full on the high notes. I'm a huge fan of Maynard but Doc was more precise. And yes, his breath control is amazing.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yes...definitely sometimes he was

[@bigdocfan6345]

Doc was very physically fit as well. I recall reading a commentary where a gentleman was having a conversation with him right after a show, and Doc said he had just finished a 10 minute plank earlier that morning. Doc is why we see so many like Wayne Bergeron and others. Doc has always been my go-to player to listen to and resolve playing issues. A great man indeed!

[@vatoslocos7314]

A joke compared to Derek Watkins. But still okay

[@museumjunkie9317]

Happy Birthday Doc. 94 years young on July 7, 2021...... Watch Doc playing when 92 years young playing with the San Miguel Five. Look it up on KZbin. It's not WAS the best trumpet player, He still IS the best trumpet player.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

94 WOW! So many people would be happy just to wake up and BE 94!

[@daveduffy1755]

A modern great up with the best of them miss Ya Doc

[@dgarber771]

I was fortunate to sit in the front row in Las Vegas back in the late 70s and see Doc perform this piece. I'll never get into a discussion about who's the best trumpet player, but if I had the ability to play like any one, it would be Doc. Thanks for posting.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Glad you liked it!

[@juancarlossanchez7318]

Doc es de los Grandes

[@richarddawes9100]

Love Doc he is the Goat of the Trumpet love him!!

[@johnanderson1245]

I don’t know whether or not Doc had Maynard’s range, but his intonation was supreme.

[@jefrodad]

Nice arrangement! So many nights I would stay up late hoping doc would do a solo on the tonight show. Amazing trumpet player

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Thank you kindly!

[@straceshow3212]

I'm a huge Maynard fan but this is the best version I've ever heard of Macarthur Park.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

cool

[@NareshKumar-vp6qq]

[@davesondav6774]

Doc a beast. Met him at a trumpet clinic at NDSU in early 80's love ya doc

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yes

[@danielmalloy6093]

Saw Doc at the Norfolk Philharmonic in 79'. I was in the top row further from the stage. He played Malaguena to perfection.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Good Memories

[@M231231]

Saw Doc and Maynard twice each, Doc's were 50 years apart. Not sure who was better but Doc was incredible with Carson.

[@Pilot545]

As a long time trumpet player who was heavily influenced mostly by Phil Driscoll’s (1980s) style, I will admit to anyone that there is none better than Doc! His technical ability while still providing that emotion is unparalleled! That tone!!! Regardless of placement on (or WAY off) the scale!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 🎺 🎺🎺

[@sammy2840]

Doc, Maynard, Chase…Good old days!

[@sisleymichael]

Such a demon on the horn! Cross between Harry James and Maynard.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yup

[@ray-ud8rj]

.....anyway U slice it....DOC is super cool in & out.....style,form,antics tiempo,tender low notes & ofcourse the highest of the HIGHS !!....the most serious unserious band leader around....DOC ROCKS !!

[@clintondritchie6252]

What a great trumpeter!! Miss Him!!

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

well he's not dead yet! if you miss him, buy a ticket and go to his next performance.

[@NareshKumar-vp6qq]

Excellent musician and showman. Perfect for the Tonight Show.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

amen

[@EdWeibe]

glad I ran across this. I cant put the horn down and I'm effing 60 and always looking to learn.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

great

[@keithchrysler3732]

I play, not only that song but with a Getzen Severenson horn! Doc is awesome!

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yes

[@jswilley3673]

I think Doc has a more rounded tone than Maynard. Love both artist..

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

thats because youre comparing Doc to Grandpa Maynard. Try comparing Doc to anything Maynard did 1940-1980 and you will have a tough time.

[@nickcupkovic5721]

Honestly one of the best

[@nmikloiche]

What a beast - and I’m in love with the matador style tuxedo he is sporting.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yes...he was

[@drpaulfrangedakis890]

He's absolutely awesome.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

YES

[@frankmorton1626]

One if the greats🎺

[@sbukosky]

Oh I miss playing. Was 2nd and 1st in high school but kissed the instrument panel in an airplane crash.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Yikes, that'll do it!

[@jonjames7113]

I would play along with Docs albums in junior high and high school to try and match his tone.

[@Photog455]

I never realized he had that kind of range....every bit as much as Maynard Ferguson and crisper.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Well.......not really! Doc does not come close to the range and power of Maynard which is probably one reason Doc never invited Maynard on the Tonight Show! For 30 years or more Doc played on the Tonight Show, but not once ever invited the world's greatest trumpet player on. Why not? Probably was still holding a grudge from when Charlie Barnett called in Maynard to take over Doc's lead trumpet part back in the late 40's...Doc's true range was probably F's and Double G's. Everything above was not so great, nor powerful and many times out of tune.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

@Doug Fernandes That was done in the studio...HELLO? It was artificially tuned and either pitched up artificially or he ate the studio mic as he played it ppp and then they jacked it up with gain!

[@mattburgess9312]

Fantastic rendition by Doc.Derek Watkins also did a great version with James Last But Maynard made this a Trumpet Masterpiece

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

yup

[@billullrich7691]

Who are the 32 dopes that gave this a thumbs down???

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

All 32 are jealous of Doc's playing and are irritated they can't play that way.

[@MathewRusso-r6y]

This actually sounds more like the MacArthur Park SUITE by Donna Summer as I hear portions of the second song in this from her suite. LOVE IT. =M=

[@raulomargarcia]

Soooooo much talent. Great chops

Greatest Trumpet Player of all time

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Well, no, but definitely one of the greats. Rafael Mendez certainly comes to mind. Maynard Ferguson already beat Doc for lead in the Charlie Barnett Orchestra and never looked back. but yes, Doc is up there as one of the greats, but MAYNARD dusted Doc and actually is the greatest trumpet player of all time!

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

hehehe, no, not true: BUD BRISBOIS is the greatest executioner of extreme range especially above double high c...better than Maynard, but MAYNARD is the best trumpeter of all time! Not because of range, but because of his SOUND and raw, natural talent! Did you ever wonder why Doc NEVER had Maynard come on the Johnny Carson show? It is the same reason YOU never had John Holmes stop by in your bedroom and show your wife what it is REALLY all about. YOU GETTIN' IT NOW SON??

[@JeffreyMorgan-q7s]

Doc could blow

[@harrymills2770]

Glissin' up to the double-high A.

[@marinechapssemperfiout9939]

You have my attention! Semper Fi

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Right on

[@edcann9056]

Is Doc playing a Getzen Severinsen or was this one of his later horns after he left Getzen ? I notice that it has a third valve slide stop whereas the Getzen Severinsen never had those, of course he could have had that added . Supposedly his personal Getzen had a Bach Strad bell.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Well, Doc is still alive so better go ask him quick...he just turned 95

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Ever dream of being able to play like this? How about this song? Impossible, right? NOT SO FAST: trumpetsizzle.com
