ONE LP PORTRAITS: MUSICIANS: @SCARBOROUGH JF15: Chris Cheek: Musician

“It's a Cannonball Adderley record called 'Things Are Getting Better'. And I guess the reason it's so special was I had been taking lessons when I was in High School with a friend of my band director who was a saxophone player who had just moved back from New York.
And he had an amazing record collection and he would loan me records to listen to each week, but that record was like the first jazz record I bought literally and I ordered it through the mail and I was just so excited and I just remember like waiting for days - and it seemed like months before it came but I remember we were sitting down at dinner and the bell in the door rang and I knew it was the delivery of the record and I remember just jumping up from the table and going and getting it and just - I don't know something about the act of opening the package and holding you know - it was like one of my first records you know that was mine.
And there's a picture of him and you know he's holding the horn out in front of him and so the horn looks huge.
And it's just a great record you know and I listened to it every day for months you know and yeah - just loved it.”
