Doc Severinsen - Airmail Special

Mike Bryan Electric Guitar
Georgie Auld Tenor
Doc Severinsen Trumpet
Harry Sheppard Vibes
Derek Smith Piano
Jack Lesberg bass
Mousie Alexander Drums

Filmed in Jan. 1962 as part of a series of jazz films commissioned by Goodyear as a promotional item. This features the 7-man (?) Mike Bryan Sextet, which was really just formed for this particular recording, as far as I know they never recorded as a group in any other setting. If someone knows otherwise let me know.

The DVD is titled "Jazz Festival, Vol. 2" by Storyville Films and is available at various online vendors. It also features sets by Duke Ellington and Bobby Hackett.

Volume 1 features Louis Armstrong, Eddie Condon and again Bobby Hackett, all filmed in similar fashion in high fidelity stereo.

Wow! What an absolutely swinging version. Georgie Auld, Harry Sheppard, Doc, Derek Smith, Mousie Alexander, Mike Bryan all take terrrific solos with great driving bass lines from Jack Lesberg. Thanks for posting.
