The Tonight Show Band is the band which plays on the American television variety show, the Tonight Show.
From 1962 to the 1990s, during the years the show was known as The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, it was probably the most important source of serious jazz on American television.
Carson increased the band budget, and Henderson created a major jazz big band by hiring some of the best jazz musicians from the touring big bands which were going out of business at the time, and by commissioning charts from top jazz arrangers.

 The Tonight Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tonight Show is also seen around the world on many channels, although an early attempt at airing the show in the United Kingdom in the 1980s was unsuccessful, sparking jokes by Carson.
Tonight With Des O'Connor was considered by many the UK equivalent of the show, as was Wogan (hosted by Terry Wogan).
Tonight Show is hugely successfully broadcast on the pay-tv network 'Foxtel' in Australia, with new episodes being showed a maximum of 48 hours after recording.

Carl Hilding "Doc" Severinsen (born July 7, 1927 in Arlington, Oregon) is an American pop and jazz trumpeter, most known for leading the Tonight Show Band in the Johnny Carson era.
Although Severinsen was adept at comic interplay, he took his role as band leader on The Tonight Show seriously, and campaigned for the band to get featured slots in the show (Carson, being a jazz fan, would sometimes grant one).
Doc Severinsen and His Big Band is composed of fifteen of the "Tonight Show's" best musicians, includ ing Ed Shaughnessy on drums, Snooky Young and Conte Condoli on trumpets.

While NBC executive Pat Weaver is credited as ''Tonight'''s creator (he created its morning companion, ''The Today Show''), Allen had already created much of the structure of ''Tonight'' with his local New York late-night show, which premiered in 1953 on what is now WNBC-TV.
A kinescope exists of the very first broadcast of ''The Tonight Show'' (then called simply, ''Tonight''), and Steve Allen welcomed viewers with the warning, "This show is going to last forever." He has yet to be proven wrong.
This new version of the show was not popular, and in July 1957, the show became a talk/variety show again and Jack Parr became the host.

The band was a counterpoint in a way for the jazz generation, as was the NBC Orchestra of the 30's and 40's was for classical music.
In fact, the point of the Tonight Show Orchestra was meant to be, I believe, an ironic comment on the sounds of the WWII generation.

 Billy Taylor's Jazz | Guest Artist
Such is the case on this edition of the show as he welcomes one of jazz's resident good-humored men, the universally admired trumpeter Clark Terry.
The two were of the earliest jazzmen to have significant television show profiles, Dr. Taylor as leader of the David Frost Show band, and Terry on the early Tonight Show band.
One reason Terry became a popular member of the Tonight Show band was his tongue-in-cheek rendering of his tune "Mumbles." As he explains to an audience member query, "Mumbles" was his approximation of the often slurred vocal pronouncements of blues musicians he heard as a young fellow growing up in St. Louis.
