Customer Reviews:

Doc's Best Album.......2006-10-15

Every song on this CD is wonderful!!! In the Mood is the best arrangement I've ever heard. Georgia on My Mind has masterful improv. This version of One O'Clock Jump makes every other arrangement sound like it's only 12:15. Doc and his band are solid on this one. You MUST add it to your collection

Doc Severinsen is great.......2005-08-15

This is a great album of big band stuff and Doc wailing on the trumpet. It includes the Tonight Show theme and many others. Try it you'll like it.

The magic spell!.......2005-06-28

Doc Severinson makes the another half: his magic cornet is surrounded of magical efluvies: he is not only a virtuoso player but also an expressive and lyrical musician. He plays more sounds that you are capable to listen.
This album will be one your favorite ones, once you get it. You have my word!

Great album if you want to hear great lead trumpet.......2001-08-21

Doc Severinsen was at the height of his abilities when this was recorded. (I think this album is made up of selections from some albums cut with the Tonight Show orchestra in the mid-1980's).

The album is a hallmark of clean, clear "lead" trumpet playing -- Doc was always great at that kind of 50's/60's Big Band romping lead trumpet playing, and this album features him at his peak. There are a number of fun songs here, with great charts and playing by real pros.

You have to like stomping big bands to like the music on this album, and if you do, you'll like the album.

Doc is the man!.......1999-05-28

This is the greatest collection of Doc songs i've ever heard. Doc is one of the greatest trumpet players to ever live. This is a must have album for you jazz lovers!
