	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Doc Cheatham
		Cheatham returned to America in 1930 and played in various big bands, including McKinney's Cotton Pickers (1931-2) and those led by Cab Calloway (1933-9), Teddy Wilson (1939), Benny Carter (1940), and Teddy Hill.
		Cheatham always possessed an admirable technique, and his articulation and clarity of tone was striking.
		Unusual for a jazz musician, and particularly for a brass player, Cheatham's talents seemed to flower when he was in his 70s, and most of his best recordings date from this late stage of his career.

	Encyclopedia: Doc Cheatham
		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.
		Cheatham followed the jazz King around, and treasured and performed with a mute which Oliver gave the young Cheatham for the rest of his career.
		In the 1970s, Doc Cheatham made a vigourous self-assessment to improve his playing, including taping himself and critically listening to himself, then endeavoring to eliminate all clichÃ©s from his playing.

	Music: Final Bow (Nashville Scene . 06-13-97)
		Cheatham, a consummate gentleman, rarely criticized or lashed out at people, but he occasionally bemoaned the fact that young trumpet players tend to pursue the hard edges of bebop or the sugary strains of pop rather than developing the spare, tasteful purity of classic New Orleans swing.
		Doc Cheatham was probably the last remaining celebrated musician who saw King Oliver play in person, and he was perhaps the last who played alongside a young Louis Armstrong.
		Cheatham's greatest legacy is that he carried the art of both these musical pioneers into the end of the 20th century.

	Doc Cheatham: 1905-1997
		The death of Adolphus Anthony Cheatham, familiarly known as Doc Cheatham, ended a remarkable career, and one which he managed to sustain for over 70 years as an active professional musician.
		Cheatham's very longevity contributed to his eventual recognition as an important soloist in a style which derived from Louis Armstrong, but was peppered with his own distinctive leanings, acquired over a widely varied career.
		Cheatham worked with Wilbur de Paris in Philadelphia in 1927-8, and travelled to Europe with Sam Wooding in the latter year, where he shared solo duties with his friend and fellow trumpeter, Tommy Ladnier.

		Cheatham used to sub for Armstrong in Chicago in 1926, while Payton grew up in Armstrong's hometown of New Orleans and resembles the jazz giant physically as well as musically.
		Like his old friend, Cheatham is a singer as well as a trumpeter, and his graceful, romantic vocals on numbers such as "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues" and "Save It Pretty Mama" show the way for the trumpet solos, which closely resemble the human voice.
		What is even more astounding is that Doc Cheatham was 91 years old when he recorded this CD, yet there is a sweetness to his tone and a precision to his playing that few players of any age can ever hope to match.

		Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham passed away June 3 at the age of 91, but not without leaving ultimate evidence of his mastery: a magnificent final recording shared with 23-year-old trumpet star Nicholas Payton and a sweetly swinging New Orleans ensemble.
		The 14 selections (mostly pop chestnuts and showtunes) were chosen by Doc himself and served up with reverence and joy.
		Cheatham's gorgeously idiosyncratic trumpet sound is beautifully set off by Payton's sensitive obbligati and lucid solo turns.

		Given his softer embouchure, Cheatham's solos are a little less forthright than Payton's, but both leaders are so immersed in New Orleans style that you rarely register the difference.
		As rendered here by tourist-circuit revivalists, working scholars, one original, and one pomo phenom, that style isn't dead, decadent, or ironically self-conscious, retaining its spry life and interactive unpredictability even though its revolutionary irreverence is lost to history.

		Stockade Blues'." You won't find Doc's version of "Columbus Stockade Blues" on Foundation (it's not an instrumental), but nearly every tune here offers convincing evidence that Doc should be considered the steel-string guitar equivalent of a Michaelangelo or a Da Vinci.
		The liner notes are equally skimpy; yes, the five-page appreciation of Doc by Dan Crary is very nice, but a list of the musicians on each track would have been even nicer.
		Although it's not essential for the owner of an extensive Doc Watson collection, it is nice to have a number of Doc's instrumentals in one place.
