The final gig

@Horace said in The final gig:

He wasn’t a real doctor. RIP anyway.

He didn’t die.

[jon-nyc]

You mean he wasn’t a real dead guy either?

I think that is Doctor Jill to Doc's right.

Wouldn't it be great if all those musicians were named Doc?

[Doctor Phibes]

Is it wrong that I've honestly never heard of him and that my favourite trumpet player was Miles Davis?

Should add - Doc's thing was really big band sound, not Davis kind of jazz.

OK - some jazz...

[Copper]

And everyone has Miles Davis albums, Doc was a different thing, he was with Ed and Johnny..

I don't have any Doc albums.

[Doctor Phibes]

Oh, he played in a US TV band, I get it. That's why I've never heard of him. We never watched Johnny Carson in the UK.

[Renauda]

I was aware of him, that’s about it.

As for Jazz trumpet players, I rather like Dave Douglas. Check out his 2015 album Dada People on the greenleaf label.
