The Eighty-Seven Years of Doc Cheatham

The Eighty-Seven Years of Doc Cheatham (1992) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

There has never been a trumpeter in recorded history over the age of 80 on Doc Cheatham's level. Age 87 at the time of this CD, he plays with power, creativity and confidence on this quartet set of swing standards. He dominates the music with his trumpet solos and quiet but charming vocals and, even with the participation of a strong rhythm ...

Duets & Solos (1976) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

The music of three Sackville LPs is reissued on full in this double-CD set, a 1979 solo session by pianist Sammy Price and a pair of duet albums with trumpeter Doc Cheatham from 1976 and 1979. Cheatham, who was 71 at the time of the earlier date, was just beginning to emerge as a major soloist and in fact is in much more confident form on the ...

Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton (1997) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton

This matchup between trumpeters Doc Cheatham (91 at the time) and Nicholas Payton (just 23) is quite logical and delightful. Cheatham, one of the few survivors of the 1920s, was still in remarkably fine form, while Payton (a flexible New Orleans player capable of ranging from Dixieland to Freddie Hubbard) is both respectful and inspiring. With Doc ...

Jazz in Paris: Sammy Price & Doc Cheatham Play George Gershwin

Jazz in Paris: Sammy Price & Doc Cheatham Play George Gershwin (2003) more music like this

by Sammy Price/Doc Cheatham

This compilation in Verve's Jazz in Paris reissue series contains two separate sessions led by Sammy Price. The first, from 1956, features 14 piano solos by Price, exploring standards, classic jazz compositions, and some originals as well, so the title of this reissue is a bit misleading. The influence of Fats Waller, Earl Hines, and Teddy Wilson ...

Swinging Down in New Orleans

Swinging Down in New Orleans (1995) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

Although it has not gotten the publicity that his Columbia and Verve CDs received, this is one of the finest of all Doc Cheatham albums. Age 88 at the time, Cheatham had not lost a thing and plays miraculously well. He is teamed up with clarinetist Brian O'Connell, pianist Butch Thompson, Les Muscutt (doubling on guitar and banjo), Bill Huntington ...

Veteran trumpeter Doc Cheatham and soprano saxophonist Jim Galloway co-lead these three separate live sessions.

Live at Sweet Basil (1996) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

This spirited set features Sammy Rimington's band being joined by guest bassist Arvell Shaw and the great trumpeter Doc Cheatham. Rimington switches between clarinet (with some traces of his earlier George Lewis influence), alto and tenor, sounding pretty effective in the New Orleans style. However Cheatham (who takes three vocals) is the main ...

You're a Sweetheart (1992) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham & the Swing Sisters

Trumpeter Doc Cheatham (87 at the time) gets top billing and is well-featured on six of this CD's 11 selections but the release from the Canadian label Sackville is more significant for helping to introduce Rosemary Galloway's Swing Sisters. This fine quintet (originally all women but now just three out of five) features the excellent trumpeter ...

Meets the Swiss Dixie Stompers Plus Two (2003) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

Doc Cheatham was 90 at the time that he recorded this live set with the Swiss Dixie Stompers, but he could still hit high notes on his trumpet and take charming vocals. Although initially a bit nervous about sitting in with a band he had never heard of (as he relates during a short interview), the combination works well and the bandmembers (taking ...

Good for What Ails Ya (1977) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

This Dixielandish session features the ageless trumpeter Doc Cheatham (who was then 71 and still improving) in a sextet with trombonist Gene "Mighty Flea" Conners, altoist Ted Buckner, pianist Sammy Price, bassist Carl Pruitt and drummer J.C. Heard on eight veteran standards. It is great fun to hear these classic players jam on this LP on such ...

Doc and Sammy (1976) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

Trumpeter Doc Cheatham has had something of a unique career. A lead trumpeter during much of his life, he did not develop as a soloist until he was nearly 70 years old. This set finally made the jazz world aware of his talents. Doc (who was already age 71) is joined by the 68-year old pianist Sammy Price for a set of swing and Dixieland standards. ...

Tribute to Billie Holiday (1987) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham

Doc Cheatham (a month short of turning age 82) is in excellent form on this set of eight songs associated with Billie Holiday. Fortunately, the octet avoids the obvious tunes like "God Bless the Child" and "Lover Man" and instead plays songs such as "I Cried for You" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" that are more adaptable as jazz ...

by Doc Cheatham

Doc Cheatham maintained a strong sound on trumpet into his nineties; this series of French studio sessions dates from May 1975, just prior to his 70th birthday. The veteran is accompanied by veteran drummer J.C. Heard and pianist Sammy Price, while the rest of the supporting cast, including trombonist Gene Conners, alto saxophonist Ted Buckner, ...
