Seattle Jazz Fellowship presents George Cables Trio with Jerome Jennings (drums) and Chuck Deardorf (bass). Opening set by The Fellowship 'Ceptet, an ongoing mentorship program of Seattle Jazz Fellowship. Made possible by a gift from Bob and Sue Frause.
Equally skilled as a leader or as a sideman, George Cables helped to define modern mainstream jazz piano of the 1980s and '90s. When he was 18 and at Mannes College, he formed the Jazz Samaritans with Steve Grossman and Billy Cobham. Cables gained recognition during his stints with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Sonny Rollins (both in 1969), Joe Henderson (1969-1971), and Freddie Hubbard (1971-1976). He was with Dexter Gordon (1976-1978) during the tenor's successful return to the United States, and became known as Art Pepper's favorite pianist (1979-1982). In addition to his occasional work with Bebop and Beyond (starting in 1984), Cables appeared in a countless number of situations through the years, and has recorded frequently as a leader, most notably for Contemporary (including the 1979 classic Cables Vision), Concord, and SteepleChase.
Personnel for The Fellowship 'Ceptet includes: Marc Seales, Grace Kaste, John Bishop, Beserat Tafesse, Thomas Marriott, Mark Taylor, Jackson Cotungo
