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)?

: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. 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.[[User:TheJazzFan|TheJazzFan]] ([[User talk:TheJazzFan|talk]]) 16:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC) |

Nickname?
Alwasy wondered, and the article about him says nothing, how he came about the name, "Doc"? He does not have a Phd in music.
His father was a dentist in Arlington, Or. He was known as "Big Doc" and Carl was "Little Doc". Later, it became just "Doc".
Jazz?
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)?
