Grammy Award-winner Doc Severinsen has been celebrated as America’s favorite trumpet player for more than half a century. Welcomed into living rooms for three decades as the leader of “The Tonight Show Orchestra,” (with host Johnny Carson hailing him as ‘the greatest trumpet player in the world,’) his impeccable musicianship and charismatic presence still dazzles.
