  • @JarheadPatriot0311 Your right A VERY YOUNG DOC SEVERNSON!!!!

  • Wow! At 2:37 a very young Doc Severenson

  • this is my unce, bunny briggs

  • Charlie Barnet was incredibly underrated. He was the first white band to accept black musicians, and this piece was probably somewhat of a shot at the general practice of segregation at the time. Barnet's band were damn good.

  • I thnk if there was one big band in one year I was only able to listen to, it would be this group--Charlie Barnet 1949. Especially with a trumpet section from Hell, they were that burnin'!

  • Great, great, great...Charlie and Bunny.

    I had heard this song many times, many years ago, but had not seen the video.

    Thanks

  • Cooooool! Which instrument did he play?

  • Pretty funny! Check out Tim Butler performing a singing telegram for an 80-year old woman named Glady's. It's hilarious!!

    If you like it, please forward it to your friends and family so they can enjoy it also!

  • Wow! Bebop Doc Severinsen!
