Description
For over two decades, Doc Severinsen served as bandleader and musical director of The Tonight Show, making him one of the most recognizable trumpet voices in American entertainment. This CD captures Severinsen and The Tonight Show Band in their element, romping through big band classics with the polish and swing that made their nightly performances legendary. Highlights include a jubilant take on Benny Goodman’s ‘Don’t Be That Way,’ the irresistible bounce of ‘Flying Home,’ and naturally, ‘Johnny’s Theme’ — the iconic Tonight Show signature tune that Severinsen made his own. It’s a showcase of virtuoso brass playing and a tight, seasoned band at the top of their game…
