Talk:Doc Severinsen

message: Such a fine musician deserves a far better article than this poorly written article. Also, there are far too few citations and references. An embarrassing article. 75.48.5.211 (talk) 00:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Deserves Better

message: This article says he led a jazz band, and certainly it had some jazz musicians in it, but didn't they play pretty much note by nore from arrangements? And I have heard Doc (my favorite trumpeter) referred to as a fine technician, but was he ever regarded as a jazz musician (as was Dizzy Gillespie, for instance)?

replies: text: If you're referring to the Tonight Show band itself, it functioned in whatever capacity it was needed. If they needed jazz, there were many superb jazzers in their ranks. They played jazz charts all the time, though frequently during commercial breaks when you might not have heard them. But there were plenty of times you'd hear guys like Conte Candoli, Pete Christlieb etc. taking improv solos. Jazz charts for large bands like that typically have written arrangements with sections for solo breaks specified. As for Doc himself, while he was better known for his studio/pop/commercial playing, sure he could play jazz. A good example of Doc playing straight ahead jazz is a film from the early sixties with the Mike Bryan Sextet produced by Storyville Films. They made high quality films of live sets of a number of well-known groups. Here he is tearing up Airmail Special - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGVHfJcE544&fmt=18 Info on the DVD it's from can be found in the info section.TheJazzFan (talk) 16:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have this rare recording of the good Doctor playing with Charles Parker.  It is basically incredible.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 14:43, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Jazz?

message: I am going to put in the wiki that he was married to Emily Marshall.  I CAN'T BELIEVE that it ain't in there?  It is TOTALLY RELEVANT.
::Just as an update: I DID IT! I edited the wiki and I put in information about Emmie!  I also learned that she is an accomplished writer and artist!  Has anyone thought about doing an entry for her??  She worked on the tv show Laverne and Surely.  SO that means she is really noteworthy!  Let me know what you think.  Maybe we could try and contact her through Doc's agent to see if there is more information we need for her entry?  She may have her own agent, as well.  Does anyone know her agent?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 15:16, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Old Lady? 

message: Per the Doc Severinsen documentary, he is now divorced from Emily. 
 “I’ve had an interesting life. I’ve been married four times, and my life now is with a person … girlfriend who is a music professor at University of Tennessee. “I’m into my great-grandchildren now, and their mother, my granddaughter, is a fabulous musician.”

thread_title: Divorced

message: Wasn't Severinsen part of Charlie Barnet's band for a time?  It seems relevant since some of the Tonight Show Band CDs contain Barnet tunes.  I am not 100% certain he was in the band but a Carl Severinsen is listed among the trumpets.  That's got to be him, right?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.55.177.216 (talk) 05:33, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
