Almost every trumpet great has played this and each put there on take it. No one has ever played this with as powerful or beautiful trumpet sound as Doc. His tone has never been matched.
@@tungsten8290 Your right, I'm a huge fan of Phil Smith. I love his sound. For what Phil does it is perfect. For what Doc did which was a little bit of everything his sound is perfect. But Doc's sound was unique.
Doc always was and is, a class act!!! He's going to be 97 WOW!!!! I could only dream of what it would be like to play the trumpet like him! My college roommate and I would turn on the tonight show just to watch all of his shenanigans and his great band. We were fortunate to get to see him live! Happy birthday to one of the greatest trumpeters ever! At 72, I'll keep practicing and maybe I'll be worthy to carry his trumpet case. God Bless Him!!!!
Witnessing Doc playing a pops concert in his prime was simply mesmerizing. His seemingly effortless range and impeccable technique inspired young (and old) players around the world to practice, practice, and practice some more.
Doc was "other worldly".... I stayed up late every night as a middle school trumpet player in the mid 70's, hoping that Carson would let Doc and the band play!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Same with me! I played trumpet in my high school stage band in early -70's and I also stayed up hoping to hear Doc play. I had (still have) a couple of his LP's and I tried to play along. Emphasis on "tried".
This might take a minute, but bear with me… My oldest brother Chip played trumpet and he was pretty good. My dad grew up with Al Hirt and he was really good. And I got to see Louis Armstrong play when I was a kid back in the late 60s. And Doc… well Doc was really good too! What amazed me about those three that separated themselves from someone like my brother was just how unbelievably loud they could blow with such quality! I mean it’s pristine! And the fact that Doc is going to be 97 is just a wonder! Thanks for posting and bringing back all of those memories for me.
I have listened to just about every rendition of this from very many trumpet players and nobody can do it better than Doc. His tone and power are just unmatched. He did this years after with the Cincinnati.Pops on the Telarc label and it was almost exactly the same rendition except the Boston Pops version has him hitting that double A at the end. You can find a video of him recently playing at 95 still with the same virtuosity. Again, nobody can play this piece better, not even Rafael. Those Telarc recordings of him are absolutely priceless too. Even Maurice Andre, Gilbert Johnson, Adolf Herseth, Phil Smith, David Bilger, etc. would love how Doc played this !!!!........Prof. Jim
Prof. Jim - I agree with your take on this, but the absolute perfection of Mendez on the very fast runs is hard to ignore. However, Doc is my all time favorite!
Having watched many Doc Severinsen performances through the years and on RUclips, my opinion is he's the GOAT trumpetist. Not to mention performing for years at elite level on the Tonight Show with the NBC Orchestra.
I was fortunate to be a college music major when Doc would come through my town every two years. I was permitted to attend his rehearsals. What impressed me, besides the obvious, was how kind he was to everyone. He was happy to talk about mouthpieces and setups, and was friendly and humble. A great man!
Unfortunately, most of the audience don't realize what they just experienced unless your a trumpet player. Also, let's not forget Arturo Sandoval and The great Mexican Rafael Mendez.
Thank you for posting this. Like many, I grew up as a kid seeing Doc on the Tonight Show before Johnny retired, but never fully appreciated what a gifted player he really was. This performance is impeccable and a great tribute to a living legend.
Doc and the Tonight Show orchestra playing for the at home audience was a rare treat , and one, I feel, that should have been done more often. I came to love this jazzy big band style of music because of my exposure to it in the 1970s. Doc was a gem of a find for the show.
I don't know from where or how you get these priceless videos, but many thanks for doing it and posting it. I saw this when I was 12 years old and saw him do it live the next year. Everything Doc did made such a lasting impression on me. I still listen to him all the time and every time is like the first time. His God-given talent never ceases to amaze me.
I played that in high school, but Rafael Mendez's version imitating a recording, just for fun with no accompaniment. It was more fun playing it on a baritone which was my instrument in the band.
La Virgen de la Macarena la compuso el español Bernardino Bautista Monterde (1880-1959) y le puso letra: Antonio Ortiz Calero. La versionan y arreglan todo trompetista que se precie, añadiendo adornos y florituras que desvirtuan la pieza musical. Para mi gusto como el original: ninguno. Un saludo.
Thank you again David, Doc did Rafaels number so beautiful, have a recording of him at the Navel School of Music performing it in 1966 when I was there, so great there too.
That's perty funny because the reamer was doc got kick out of the school of music but whan I whent though the school of music 1982 1983 it was very hard for me
"La Virgen de la Macarena" does not translatr as "Brave Bulls". It simply translates as "Ths Virgin of Macarena". It is a reference to a statue of the Virgin Mary in the Basilica of Macarena to which a bullfighter named Jose Gomez Ortega attached five broches. The statue was vested in black vestments at Gomez's funeral. The Virgin of Macarena is the patroness of bullfighters.
He and Johnny Carson were class acts. Nothing like the bottom of the bucket crap we have today on late night shows. Jay Leno was the last class act at night.
Check out Rafael Mendez playing the same song with a sharper staccato and ' triple tongue-ing ' in some areas , and that is super hard to do . ( I never could and few can) "DOC " is damn good but Mendez is a step above . Off hand , I can't think of one any better , although there may be that I'm not aware of .

I think you'd like Phil Smith!

@@waynebritton1436 being able to hear different sounds with so much character really is a treat!
Amazing! Love that song!
I think you would like Andrea guilfredi’s version as well :)
The trills and vibrato coming up or down from a series of high notes shows his amazing adaptability without compromising quality.
Doc always was and is, a class act!!! He's going to be 97 WOW!!!! I could only dream of what it would be like to play the trumpet like him!

Man , that cat could blow !!!😊

Doesnt get any better than Doc. !!!
Dam Doc, he is great he is 97 now 2024

Me too! @@jimd6641
Same here lead trumpet HS jazz band. I woke up to hear on johnny carson, clark terry playing the flugeulhorn upside. down. Yowza
high A to double high A gliss on last note. Impossible speed passages in various places. genuine Mexican/Spanish tone at times. Masterful...
Doc Severinsen, Arthur Fiedler, and the Boston Pops- three names without whom music
would not have been the same.
Thank God I got to hear Doc live several times. There is nothing else like it 👍
I was not aware of how good he was. Bravo!
One of the most beautiful La Macarena amongst the great trumpet player in the world🎺🎺🎺
Wow, nailed every.single.note. Absolutely astounding.
MY GOODNESS.....MAYBE THE MOST AMAZING TRUMPET SOLO EVER !!!!!

My friend, Larry Skinner, knew Doc. Used to talk about him from time to time. RIP Larry.
Doc's sound was incredible
The best all round trumpeter who ever lived
I believe he is still playing .
Yeah and I really think I ought to make it across the Atlantic to hear him - what a legend in his - and our - time.
Doc performed this with H.S. Concert bands in the late 60’s early 70’s. Always a showman, his power and technique were pro level in every way.👍🏼
Oh my God!!!. That's brilliance!!!!
I used to attempt to play this in high school. It's a mother! No one does it better than Doc.
I was fortunate to be a college music major when Doc would come through my town every two years. I was permitted to attend his rehearsals.

Yes!!

Well said, friend
this boston pops orchestra was better than many major symphonies of that time
Mesmerizing
Doc is the best!

In My Opinion It Didn't Get Any Better Than Doc Severinsen 🎺
I don't know from where or how you get these priceless videos, but many thanks for doing it and posting it. I saw this when I was 12 years old and saw him do it live the next year. Everything Doc did made such a lasting impression on me. I still listen to him all the time and every time is like the first time. His God-given talent never ceases to amaze me.
I’ve heard this played so many times by so many trumpet players, this is fabulous.

I don't speak Spanish but even I know that the "translation" was nonsense.
Please welcome Mr. Warmth, Don Rickles!
Those were the days!
He and Johnny Carson were class acts. Nothing like the bottom of the bucket crap we have today on late night shows. Jay Leno was the last class act at night.
there's only one Doc......
Is his playing into a microphone?
Check out Rafael Mendez playing the same song with a sharper staccato and ' triple tongue-ing ' in some areas , and that is super hard to do . ( I never could and few can) "DOC " is damn good but Mendez is a step above . Off hand , I can't think of one any better , although there may be that I'm not aware of .
Mendez has more cleanliness but less sound less colorful
@@thomasseoanemuniz6338 I tend to agree . The level of both , is very rare indeed !
Man I was hoodwinked. I waiting for Don Rickles
Lolol I was to ..😂😂
Doc is great but Michel too
I can do one thing better with my trumpet than Doc. I can throw mine farther.
@@AncientRe Lol. Good one.
Yeah but Larry wright solos
That ending was weak. WEAAAKKK
