| Doc is an amazing inspiration. I remember doing the night of a thousand trumpets with him (and I think about 700 or so other trumpet players, and the thing that stood out to me most about him was how long he can go without stopping. He played for like 12 hours a day for three days straight. The whole time he is playing double Gs here and there, multiple tonguing all over the place, beautiful phrasing and lyricism. It was like he just never got tired. Truly inspiring...
