Doc Severinsen playing Country music
I taped this off of the TV in the early 80’s and just now edited it to how I wanted it. Some long time Severinsen fans have told me that they had never seen this number. He does some amazing things here on trumpet that look easy, but aren’t.
Pt. 5 Q&A with Doc and Alan at the Sherman Jazz Museum 4/12/2018

This part features Doc telling about hearing Ziggy Elman with the Tommy Dorsey band in 1941 playing “Well Git It”. Before the opening intro of the tune ended Doc knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. At the end of the video I included a video of Doc playing that very tune with the Tonight Show band years later.

The First Annual Jazz Classic
Bill Doc Severinsen, Museum, North Texas One O'Clock 0
A few of us decided to have a small jazz festival in Sherman this year-2018. We brought in the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band, and their director (Alan Baylock) suggested bringing in Doc Severinsen as the guest artist. The concert was on April 12, 2018. I have attached some Youtubes of the concert, and later I post Youtube of the Q&A session at the Sherman Jazz Museum that afternoon with Doc and Alan. A film crew also arrived who were filming a documentary on Doc’s life, along with Doc’s daughter, Nancy. I was honored to give Nancy and Doc a tour of the third floor of the museum, but unfortunately they didn’t have time to see the other half of the museum on the second floor.
It was a great start to what I hope to be an annual event in Sherman, which can showcase the museum, and a guest artist.
