The Sweet Baby Blues Band
"Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham’s brand of blues is a joyful blend of spirit and intelligence. It’s rooted in tradition, but still swings like mad.”
Ken Franckling, JazzTimes
Jeannie Cheatham is a living legend in jazz and blues. A pianist, singer, songwriter, and co-leader of the Sweet Baby Blues Band, she has played and sung with many of the greats in blues and jazz—T-Bone Walker, Dinah Washington, Cab Calloway, Joe Williams, Al Hibbler, Odetta, and Jimmy Witherspoon. Cheatham toured with Big Mama Thornton off and on for ten years and was featured with Thornton and Sippie Wallace in the award-winning PBS documentary "Three Generations of the Blues". Her music, which has garnered national and international acclaim, has been described as unrestrained, exuberant, soulful, rollicking, wicked, virtuous, wild, and truthful. Cheatham's signature song, "Meet Me With Your Black Drawers On" is a staple in jazz and blues clubs across America and in Europe, Africa, and Japan.
