Doc Cheatham actually played for Bessie Smith's tent shows earlier in his long career. He would be gone in just over a month after the performance in this video. He passed a little less than two weeks before his 92nd birthday. RIP Doc.
Heard Doc Cheatham with pianist Martial Solale at the Nice Jazz Festival in 1980. It was a most enjoyable performance where the two masters of distinctly different musical styles joined to create something unique and memorable!

Your father was a great musician. If you ever want to do an interview about him, let me know.
Your dad was a terrific musician, as well as a good and kind man. Love him on Johnny Richard's " Wide Range."

Doc was old and a legend.. but consider that none of the guys are less than 75.. Sweets is 85.. Joe Wilder the youngest and 75..
