Doc Cheatham


 

Adolphus Anthony Cheatham, much better known as Doc Cheatham (13 June, 1905 - 2 June, 1997) was a jazz trumpeter, singer, and bandleader. While a reliable player in some of the top jazz groups from the 1920s on, Cheatham's career enjoyed an unusual flowering of renewed creativity and acclaim in his later decades; Doc himself agreed with the critical assessment that he was probably the only jazz musician to create his best work after the age of 70.
