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.
Pt. 1 & 2 of the Q&A session with Doc and Alan at the Sherman Jazz Museum in April, 2018
Here are some clips from the afternoon session at the museum with Doc Severinsen and Alan Baylock.
The First Annual Jazz Classic
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.
Q&A Session with Doc and Alan at the Sherman Jazz Museum
The afternoon of the concert on 4/14/2018 we asked Doc and Alan Baylock to come to the museum for an hour to meet the public in a short question and answer session. This is a brief excerpt from that session. I think Doc wants us to open up the ballroom for dances someday, and he said he would be the first to volunteer to play for the dance! My dad actually held a few dances there when his antique museum opened around 1986. However, I don’t plan to hold dances there at his point.
More Doc Severinsen 4/14/2018 in Sherman
At the concert in Sherman on 4/4/2018 with Doc Severinsen. Doc is the best sounding 90 year old trumpet player I have ever heard. He is amazing! The camera men seen walking around filming on stage were filming a documentary on the life of Doc.
The First Annual Sherman Jazz Classic
For eight years I wanted to do a jazz concert to go along with our jazz museum in Sherman, and in 2018 we finally did the first one. I wanted The North Texas One O’Clock Lab Band to play and to backup a great jazz artist. I also wanted the director, Alan Baylock, and the band perform with someone they were excited to perform with, so I asked Alan to help choose someone. It was a long shot, but we decided to go with Doc Severinsen, who was 90 years old, but still sounded great. Hopefully, Doc would agree and he did. This was the closing tune of the concert. Doc and the band sounded great! The concert was on 4/14/2018 at Kidd-Key auditorium in Sherman, TX.
Concert on February 9, 2018 with the One O’Clock Lab Band and Marshall Gilkes
Our museum is sponsoring this concert next month at Austin College. It should be a great concert, and part of the Community Series 50th Anniversary year celebration. To buy tickets: http://communityseries.org/home
