Doc Severinsen: Very Best Of CD

Carl Hilding “Doc” Severinsen, an American pop and jazz trumpeter is best known for leading the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Severinsen put out a number of albums of jazz standards, over which he performed very melodic solos. He served as lead trumpet on many of Enoch Light’s Command Records LP’s of that era, and his soloing was featured in Tito Puente’s “Night Ritual (Afro Cuban Jazz Mini Suite)” from Puente’s classic 1957 album Top Percussion.

A Grammy award winner, Doc has made more than 30 albums–from big band to jazz-fusion to classical. Two critically acclaimed Telarc CDs with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra showcase his multifaceted talents from Bach to ballads. "The Very Best of Doc Severinsen" reprises fifteen of Doc’s signature pieces.
