The Doctor Is Way In

<p> Good things come to those who wait. Just ask DOC CHEATHAM. He
waited until he was 88 for the release of his first major-label
recording -- but he made the most of the time. The Eighty-Seven
Years of Doc Cheatham demonstrates the musical wisdom that comes
from having lived and played through much of the history of
jazz, often working with the best: Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway,
Benny Goodman, Eddie Heywood and Louis Armstrong, to name a
few. And after all those years, his trumpet is still passionate
and strong, his vocals are luringly mellow. What's his secret?
"I study my jazz all the time, trying to improve myself," he
says. Today's students, he worries, are too classically trained
for intuitive jazz. The Doc's advice: "Go to music school, but
don't give up the talent that you're born with."
