- <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."
