When Doc was around 11 years old, he won a major national trumpet competition with his version of Carnival of Venice. He started trumpet at 7. By 9 years of age, he was playing first chair in his high school band. He hit the bigs before he was 20. There is no way to understand a gift like this. The rest of us just have to keep working at it.
My heart stops every time I hear this piece. He has THE greatest trumpet sound on earth. No one else I have ever heard has this huge yet silky smooth sound. Gawd I love Doc's sound!
he was my HERO growing up I bough a GETZEN ETERNA horn(doc's model) with my paper route money.. many many years later I met Doc at an airport a GENTLEMAN.....told him I worked with "Arbans" trumpet music book.. he was a DELIGHT to finally meet
I too have his Getzen Eterna model Purchased new in 1975 and still the one I play today. One of his best albums, Rhapsody for Now, from that same time period, perhaps a couple years earlier in 1973, was one of the first musical albums I ever purchased. And I love looking at that cover, because it is a close-up of him playing that famous trumpet, the same model I purchased. I also got to see him perform live once. I always think about how I would have loved to have taken my trumpet to him backstage and have him play it. Just a scale or two, just to say that I had a horn that Doc actually played.
Doc's favorite phrase was "if you want to be a better trumpet player, practice more"...there was a time in my life when I practiced for 8-10 hours a day, but I never got to be anywhere this good. Never would. There's a certain amount of God given talent you have to be born with, and Doc had it. I didn't, at least not to this extent...
Doc IS a god! My music hero forever. I too started playing trumpet because of him, when I was 15. He is also a great guy, mentor, friend. I will be 60 this year! (female)
Before I bought ANY “Modern” (at the time) popular artist LP, my very first purchase of any vinyl recording was “High Wide And Wonderful”, at Gimbel’s, in mono. I met his personal manager several years ago. She told me Doc still practiced about 8 hours a day at that time, and remained as cheerful as his on camera time suggested. Easily one of the most marvelous performers of my lifetime.
my trumpet instructor toured with this guy and played with him personally...it was an honor to be taught by him knowing that he knew Doc :)...i think his tone is more Jazzy and Allen is very strong and classical so yes i prefer Allen for tone but technique wize they are both perfect :)
Just saw him LIVE with the Army Blue yesterday (Fairfax, VA; NTC). He STILL plays like this!! (with bright purple leather pants, matching shirt, white leather jacket with shinny gold band around the jacket). Long Live "little Doc".
The CD was originally released in March of 1990 on Telarc. As several of you correctly noted, this is the Erich Kunzel-led Cinncinatti Pops Orchestra, featuring Doc tearing it up on: Fantasia Brillanté (Carnival of Venice -Del Staiger's version, as opposed to J.B. Arban's version); Napoli; Il Barbiere di Siviglia; Prince of Denmark's March; Bach Cantata #147; Flight of the Bumblebee; Selections from Carmen; Trumpeter's Lullabye by Leroy Anderson; and a few other selections.
Mark Schwartz I’ve been listening to my Telarc cd since 1990, also! I used to think one great trumpet player was better than another, then I got old. Now I realize that each great trumpet player is a master is his or her own way, and instead of comparing them, I just love them all!
James Eckerle - The Del Staigers version of The Carnival needs no embellishment. Doc performs it here note for note as written. Being true to the arranger.
Just learned something new. I always assumed that this was Doc’s take on Clarke’s version. It sounds very similar. This one, as well as Clarke’s, is more showy, flashier. I have always felt that the Arban’s version is the most technical. Mainly because Clarke’s is mostly slurred, whereas Arban’s has much more double and triple tonguing.
Listen Kids, I'm a BIG Ghitalla, Andre, Herseth, Vacchiano, Dokshizer etc..... Maynard, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Miles, Woody etc. Fan, but Doc.? The GREATEST All-Around Trumpeter of the 20th century. He could do it ALLLLL and with unbelievable musicality. How does Mother Nature make a guy like Him?
No fair...My truly high fidelity Telarc Cassette of this album disappeared without a trace. I MISS having this album on hand. (Yes I still have a component system with a wonderfully good cassette deck.) -The trumpet tone on this album is fabulous!
This recording is with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Whole album is great: www.amazon.com/Trumpet-Spectacular-Cincinnati-Orchestra-Severinsen/dp/B001AU8D44
@connorwilliams3232 This is Doc on the "Trumpet Spectacular" CD playing the Staigers version of COV. This was the first CD I ever got, even before I had a CD player. Vizzutti's sound is very different than Doc's.
WOW! Yes, his sound is different than Vizutti's, but so what. A great musician as well as "technician." By the way, this is a very diffucult arrangement which Doc performed beautifully. And that sound!
Interesting that this album was recorded with no processing whatsoever. No EQ, compression, artificial reverb. A couple of Coles ribbon mics right to the board. Besides being superb performances, a masterful job of recording.
I'm a Doc fan too but, May I suggest you listen to two other trumpeters like Allen Venuti and Andre' Giuffred'si! Libertango and anything by Allen Venuti. All are amazing musicians.
@guillermoongay I just saw Doc at the ITG and he is still playing. :) If that is retirement, I am looking forward to mine! Then again, Wayne Bergeron, Kiku Collins, Joey Pero and a few others amazing artists was there too.
It was hard to find Carnival of Venice inside of all that elaborate improvisation. He effectively disguised Carnival of Venice as few others could. Yes, a lot of triple tonguing and rapid fingering, but hardly recognizable as Carnival of Venice as it appears on the sheet music. I'm a great fan of Doc and this was a fantastic piece but, boy, wouldn't it be wonderful to have as great a trumpet player as him actually play the tune as it was written and intended to be heard by the composer?
I don’t mean disrespect by this, but you must not be a musician, or a serious or knowledgeable one. What Doc is doing here is called variations on a theme. Composers and performers have been doing this for centuries. It is designed to showcase technical virtuosity. It is art. It is the difference between a composition and just a tune. The difference between a portrait and a mere snapshot. The difference between a masterpiece and color by numbers.
@@BillSmith-rx9rm wow! I am so happy that you responded the way you did to the gentleman’s comments about carnival of Venice. This is a spectacular recording! I only was familiar with Napoli, and I had not heard this version. This is awesome!
@@lindakipps7551 thank you. Doc is my all time favorite trumpeter. By the way, I am also a trumpeter and is why I responded the way I did. There are many great trumpeters but I think Doc is greatly underrated by many. I think this is because many people discount him because he so-called "sold out" and went commercial. But he can cry all the way to the bank. Generally speaking, it is only trumpeters who really know the instrument that understand just how good Doc is as an all-around musician.
@@BillSmith-rx9rm I don’t play trumpet, but I am a classically trained musician. I grew up attending as many military band concerts as I possibly could, and had a friend who was a very fine trumpeter in the Air Force. So I highly respect what doc is doing here. It makes me a little crazy when people that don’t know much about music attack something that is fabulous! So glad you enjoyed this performance.

Doc makes you either go home and practice for 4 hours or go home and quit. Never anyone like him.

paxrail are we just gonna ignore that he was in highschool at 9. wow. so smart
Well, I don't think he was IN high school at 9, just playing First Chair in the high school band.
I know i jk lol
Oh haha!
@@paxrail thats pretending like he didnt work to get where he is
Fantastic! He and Harry James are my favorite.

Say Heah Doc, That was Great you old goat, Outstanding, WoW, You really nailed this one, Thanx You.,,.p
I love this!!!
There'a probably not a trumpet player in the world who hasn't played "Carnival of Venice"...myself included, but this version by Doc is incredible!
Incredible!!!
just beautiful!!
Ahh man. So good. I play in a Big Band in Toronto, and we're playing with Doc in February... so excited.
Nog nooit van Doc gehoord, maar wat is dit mooi............
a true virtuoso who will always be my favorite trumper player and I am a sax player!
Just saw him LIVE with the Army Blue yesterday (Fairfax, VA; NTC). He STILL plays like this!! (with bright purple leather pants, matching shirt, white leather jacket with shinny gold band around the jacket).
Long Live "little Doc".
when you play the trumpet like this, you can wear anything.
He has always been the best to me love that man...go doc Go.

Bravo , Bravo , Bravissimo fantastic .
espectacular muy magistral filarmonica y trompetista
incredible.
Come to Columbus, OH in September and hear him play with us!
Wow! This is good! I didn't know that.
Great, great player
Doc zeer goed , Prof Dr Jan Zwiggelaar.
Inspirational - Doc could have embellished this much more, but he kept the musicality in this arrangement!
James Eckerle - The Del Staigers version of The Carnival needs no embellishment. Doc performs it here note for note as written. Being true to the arranger.

Oooops - I forgot to mention Arturo.
Alan Ross I don't know man, Allen Vizzutti is a virtuoso
Anthony C He sure as hell is!
Allen Vizzutti is the same genius virtuosity as Doc.
add Rolf Smedvig and Sergei Nakariakov and I would say amen to that!
Doc learned from Benny Baker, the first trumpeter for the NBC Orchestra under Toscanini.
Lance Skinner Уважаю Ваш выбор.
un vero fenomeno questo sonatore.. |||| !!
No fair...My truly high fidelity Telarc Cassette of this album disappeared without a trace. I MISS having this album on hand. (Yes I still have a component system with a wonderfully good cassette deck.) -The trumpet tone on this album is fabulous!
Ribbon microphone.
I got the CD of this wonderful album now. My daughter (a music teacher) gave it to me for Father's Day.
THAT'S why he is called:"DOC"
He may be the best all around player ever
ev dallas Harry James is better
So true. Doc has played it all.
i've been working on this piece, i hope to have it mostly done sometime senior year. I absolutley love this piece!
Its been 4 years now how did it go?
I was in the trumpet studio of WCU for music ed. I dropped out!
Einfach großartig !!
This recording is with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Whole album is great: www.amazon.com/Trumpet-Spectacular-Cincinnati-Orchestra-Severinsen/dp/B001AU8D44
Vizutti is very fast and controlled however docs sound is god like
@connorwilliams3232 This is Doc on the "Trumpet Spectacular" CD playing the Staigers version of COV. This was the first CD I ever got, even before I had a CD player.
Vizzutti's sound is very different than Doc's.
dang, i want to sound like that!!
Real notes.
Fantastique la jAAZ Amai ricaen -STRATOSFERiqUE
@guillermoongay
He performed here in Houston at Jones Hall with the Houston Symph last year.
WOW! Yes, his sound is different than Vizutti's, but so what. A great musician as well as "technician." By the way, this is a very diffucult arrangement which Doc performed beautifully. And that sound!
He is both the reason I wanted to, and chose not, to play trumpet. A phenomenal musician
/ a seam at 2:31 ...
thank you for good musik /
i want to know who he learned from
Interesting that this album was recorded with no processing whatsoever. No EQ, compression, artificial reverb. A couple of Coles ribbon mics right to the board. Besides being superb performances, a masterful job of recording.
This is not Allen Vizzutti. I have the CD, awesome playing!!!!
I'm a Doc fan too but, May I suggest you listen to two other trumpeters like Allen Venuti and Andre' Giuffred'si!
Libertango and anything by Allen Venuti. All are amazing musicians.
I'm assuming you mean Allen Vizzutti. When you listen to Doc, it takes your breath away. When you listen to Vizzutti, it makes your jaw drop.
Ah yes, no one plays it quite like the Doctor!
Carnival of Venice 🎡
Thanks for posting. When was this recorded?
1991
I play clarinet and love this song, so I learned It on trumpet, of course not this arrangement
Est la muzique populair,la jaaz surtoute
That was not sane. That was not humanly possible! I am thinking Doc is actually an alien! WOW!
IMPOSSIBRU!!!
Wasn't Doc in his 60's when he did this?
Yes
because other players' 'carival..' are so old that until they are remastered, can not upload.
Connor, this is not Venus, this is carnival of Venice by del staiger. This is doc, because vizzutti plays it differently(not as good of a tone)
@guillermoongay I just saw Doc at the ITG and he is still playing. :) If that is retirement, I am looking forward to mine! Then again, Wayne Bergeron, Kiku Collins, Joey Pero and a few others amazing artists was there too.
my brain
Did he ask?
int a lu smaiss, diss lucia becc
It's all done with smoke and mirrors. Probably one of those "player trumpets". Just kidding; he's out of this world talent.
Harry James may have been Doc Severinsen's idol but, I see no comparison between the two! Doc is the Rolls Royce where Harry is.....a Chevy!
..and you obviously play the clarinet
It was hard to find Carnival of Venice inside of all that elaborate improvisation. He effectively disguised Carnival of Venice as few others could. Yes, a lot of triple tonguing and rapid fingering, but hardly recognizable as Carnival of Venice as it appears on the sheet music. I'm a great fan of Doc and this was a fantastic piece but, boy, wouldn't it be wonderful to have as great a trumpet player as him actually play the tune as it was written and intended to be heard by the composer?

WAT IS DOC TOCH ENORM GOED JAN ZWIGGELAAR
Vizzutti's sound is way different than Doc's. I think I prefer Allen playing this...

Where are your ears. Mendez is cleaner on fast tonguing .
