| Description: |
Doc Cheatham is a trumpet player, composer, lecturer and writer. Born Adolphus Anthony Cheatham on June 13, 1905 in Nashville, Tenn. His father gave him a cornet, prompting an early career in theater bands (vaudeville and burlesque). The move to Chicago and subsequent influence of Louis Armstrong and other trumpet greats prompted him to play the trumpet seriously and exclusively.
