An engaging jazz pianist, George Cables is one of the most sought-after sidemen of his era, known for his fluidly harmonic sound and adept post-bop stylings. First emerging in New York in the 1960s, he established his reputation playing with a bevy of forward-thinking luminaries including Woody Shaw, Bobby Hutcherson, and Joe Henderson. Following his move to the Bay Area in the '70s, he continued to find himself in-demand, working often with Freddie Hubbard, Dexter Gordon, and Art Pepper. Primarily known for his work with others, he has issued his own highly regarded dates including 1979's Cables' Vision, 1985's Phantom of the City, and 2008's My Muse. Comfortable in a variety of settings, Cables is a member of the all-star group the Cookers and continues to lead his own trio, who released 2019's I'm All Smiles and 2021's Too Close for Comfort.
