Doc Severinsen

The Doc ! Well known as the band leader for the Tonight Show band , part of a talk show hosted by Johnny Carson . But fans of Doc know him as a musician of space-age pop recordings and he is also known for working in Big Bands, which he started doing in 1945 . Doc has displayed talents all over the field of music, whether is Jazz or classical music , he can do it . And even though he is no Maynard Ferguson,he has an impressive range in my opinion.His first albums to have been popular were light big band stuff , but the "now sound" began insinuating itself into his music, and with the help of Dick Hyman's arrangements, his later Command albums are choice slices of pure 60s pop, coming in just behind Warren Kime's Brass Impact albums in my estimation.
