“Yesterdays” featuring Rodney Booth
Rodney teaches at UNT and conducts the Two O’Clock Lab Band. This was from a live performance in Greenville, TX in the fall of 1978.
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.
