- Title:
- Doc Cheatham portrait
- Creator:
- Scott Sternbach
- Date Created:

- Description:
- Doc Cheatham smiles while sitting on a wooden stool. He is angled toward the camera. Cheatham has dark curly hair, and wears a dress shirt, plaid blazer with pocket square, striped bowtie, slacks, socks, and dress shoes. His left hand, holding his trumpet, is crossed over his left hand, on which his wedding ring is visible. A Louis Armstrong pendant hangs from the trumpet. Photographer Scott Sternbach wrote "I knew him pretty well as I was moonlighting as a bartender at Sweet Basil Jazz Club...It was a 4th flr walkup but that did not deter Doc on his 80th Birthday. I had invited him up to the studio one Sunday to create an image for a commemorative poster. If I recall we had a birthday cake and a small celebration in my studio. I really love that image and in particular the way the Louis Armstrong pendant [sic] hangs in just the right place off of the horn."
