George Cables

Umbria Jazz

George Cables is considered a monument of modern jazz. This 80-year-old New Yorker has played, both live and in the studio, with Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, and Dizzy Gillespie throughout his long career. His “collection” of drummers is extraordinary: Art Blakey, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, and Tony Williams. Two central partnerships: the quartet of Dexter Gordon and Art Pepper (Cables was undoubtedly his favorite pianist). Pepper used to call him “Mr. Beautiful”. Their collaboration is documented by a series of records for Contemporary and Galaxy, including the latest studio session, in duo, of the great alto saxophonist: an artistic will to share with a trusted companion.
