Shorty & Doc


Shorty & Doc is an album by trumpeters Shorty Baker and Doc Cheatham recorded in 1961 and originally released on the Swingville label.

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and the review by Scott Yanow stated "The results of this meeting are generally quite friendly rather than combative with Cheatham's Dixielandish phrasing sounding slightly old-fashioned next to Baker. They perform appealing swing-oriented material and sound fine in their many tradeoffs".
