One of the most dynamic and certainly one of the most dazzling instrumentalists is Doc Severinsen.
Doc travels the country performing with symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles and big bands.
The versatile Doc is also the Principal Pops Conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. During his 30 years on The Tonight Show, Doc developed a keen eye for showmanship watching Johnny Carson work his magic. His group is composed of the best of that show's musicians - Ed Shaughnessy on drums and Snooky Young and Conte Candoli on trumpets. Doc has recorded more than 30 albums from big band to jazz-fusion to classical. He received a Grammy Award in 1987 for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance - Big Band for his recording.
