Tempestuous Trumpet is the first release by Doc Severinsen (b. 1927) under the name Doc Severinsen and His Orchestra. Produced by Enoch Light, the album was issued by Command Records in 1961. S. Neil Fujita’s cover design (with art direction from Charles E. Murphy) features an almost abstract illustration of the title. The triangular terminals in Ultra Bodoni echo the trumpet’s bell.
