What's the name of the piece Doc started playing at 1:40?

Is there a full version of "Just the Way You Are" (starting 0:50) on youtube? Or elsewhere?

Good, solid player. Sturdy chops. Ample musicality. Comfortable across genres. A true musician. Thanks for posting.

This is GREAT! I used to love watching him on the Tonight Show! Love, love, love!

Oh, man. That was just wonderful. I grew up on Doc -- I used to stay up until 1A just for the chance to hear him play at the end of the Tonight Show, when I was 14. Thanks so much.

Thanks for posting this - Doc Severinsen was my inspiration playing growing up. His playing still goes directly to my soul

Johnny Carson was a lucky SOB. All I can say. Doc is and always will be the best! Best low tone and best high tone. Sets the benchmark so high.... Love you Doc.

Not sure. At some point I'll probably post it. The show was "Dick Clark's Salute to Chuck Mangione". There was also a great jazz piano duo with Gap Mangione and Steve Allen. Wish I had the whole thing on video.

oddly, he's not what you'd call a "natural player" (though he makes it look easy).
the guy would practice 10 hours a day, seven days a week. can you imagine a vocalist trying to do that? just insane dedication.

Dunno, seems like he displayed an aptitude for it at a young age. He was winning contests within a couple of years of starting playing, was playing with the high school band when he was still in grade school.
Would love to hear recordings of him as a young kid if any exist.
