George Cables- Looking For The Light

[purplecloud191702]

music business is not about creativity so you who create go where you go

I still can't figure out why George Cables and Ronnie Mathews aren't "famous" like Herbie and Chick. Some of it has to do with staying away from electric instruments.

@Modes9 They were more known as sidemen than leaders, to be fair.

George Cables is quite underrated, imo. He's incredibly inventive with his improvisations and he's got some chops. He's fluid and lively and can bop hard or soften it sweet.

@rabranch32 One of my favourite pianists. And you're right, very underrated.

Pitiful!.......yes that's me, i just got hip to George Cables about a week ago.

I just happened to stumble upon him while looking through some other jazz stuff.

.....And i love all of your comments on this Jazz Master ......me too!

I came upon some live recordings of Freddie Hubbard with cables from the 1970s. The're really special.

Great composition by George Cables and very nice perfomance, especially by Mr Cables himself!

[jazzlife1]

George Cables is one of the "tightest" musician there is and what I admire the most about him is he's not a "carbon copy" of some other pianist, he holds his own.

[claitontesch]

For me George Cables is beyond comments, we gotta hear him and learn what Jazz is all about.

[Modes9]

He isn't underrated. That would require being talked about at all. No one has any idea who the hell he is. It's just wrong!

[darkflighter100]

totally
