George Cables is one of the greatest pianists in the history of modern jazz. Since the 1960s, he has shaped the music with his intense playing and is mentioned in the same breath as names like Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Kenny Barron. Together with his long-time musical partner, Piero Odorici, probably the most internationally renowned Italian jazz saxophonist, Cables is back on the international stage to celebrate his 80th birthday, and we are extremely pleased to be able to present this memorable evening with one of the great heroes of the hard bop era.
George Cables received a classical piano education, but quickly turned to jazz and played with Billy Cobham, Lenny White and others at a young age, who took their first steps into the jazz world with him. In 1969, he was briefly a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. During this time, he made a name for himself in the top league of jazz musicians and played in some groundbreaking ensembles and with some of the greatest visionaries in the world of jazz, including Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, Freddy Hubbard, Roy Haynes, Philly Joe Jones, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Williams and many more, the list goes on and on. Cables himself names Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock and Wynton Kelly as his most important influences. He has always impressed with his perfect bebop phrasing, his empathetic understanding of melody, harmony and rhythm.
Piero Odorici is known for his exceptional mastery of the saxophone, blending modernity with tradition, passion with precision and sensuality with sensitivity.
