Snooky Young Doc Severinsen

God Bless Snooky Young...A TRUE American Treasure. And he's STILL doin' it to it!!

This is some pretty hot sounding stuff.

Thanks so much for posting. I watched a YouTube video where Rickles mentioned Snooky being married to his wife for 52 years so I did a Google search for Snooky Young and found this video.

When people speak of trumpet greats Doc is usully among the first. People don't talk about miles until conversation turns to songwriting or something.

With that comment it's clear you're living in the twilight zone. Don't know what musicians you keep company with but it's obvious you have no clue and were clever to stay away from the points I made above. Wise choice though.

Wow, you really think that? I'm speachless regarding your ignorance. How old are you? 12, 13?

@SAAMIAM99 Look what the douche CHC4669 posted about doc. I was debating with him. And yes, any trumpet player knows that while davis was uncommonly expressive and great at jazz, his sound and technique was inferior to most other famous players.

I suggest you find some very early recordings of Miles. When he was about 19 his bebop chops were as good as anyone's. Oh and I forgot, His 1960 recording Kind of Blue is considered THE single most important jazz album. His playing changed the face of jazz forever. You don't know any of this?

@SAAMIAM99 Of course I know of all Miles albums, my personal favorite is Milestones. Kind of blue is incredble, the opening lick to miles solo on so what is probably the greatest improved motif of all time. I love miles and his music. This does not change the fact that he was behind in terms of sound, range, technique. His early be-bop recording don't compare to Clifford B, or dizzy. And player like Snooky and doc are far superior in actual trumpet ability.

@SAAMIAM99 I think snooky is just as expressive as Davis, and Doc as well, however, the thing that annoys me, is people who put down a trumpeters (or any intrumentalist) playing as cold just because they have good technique and try to justify it by pointing to davis. Just as doc and snooky aren't all there is in lead playing, Miles is far from the only one in jazz.
