@lobodeschabetado Doc decided to end its activities in 2007 and settled with his family in Mexico, 83 years old today.

Doc played in cornet competitions as a kid. He tells the story of having won one of these at the age of about 13, where the judge was none other than Herbert L. Clarke. Clarke invited young Doc for a personal audience, but as Doc tells it, he blew it off to go see a movie because he was in the "big city," instead of the small town where he lived.

He performed here in Houston at Jones Hall with the Houston Symph last year.

Doc is one of the best trumpetplayers in the world.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

I have to say for pure sound, noone beats a later period louis armstrong, but harry james comes a close second. They both had such huge sounds.

[kenporich2006]

He is both the reason I wanted to, and chose not, to play trumpet. A phenomenal musician

[mrrod67]

Wasn't Doc in his 60's when he did this?

[Myclassicalrecording]

Vizutti is very fast and controlled however docs sound is god like

[RafaelSatchmo]

WOW! Yes, his sound is different than Vizutti's, but so what. A great musician as well as "technician." By the way, this is a very diffucult arrangement which Doc performed beautifully. And that sound!
