From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

George Andrew Cables (born November 14, 1944) is an American jazz pianist and composer.

Early life

Cables was born in New York City on November 14, 1944.[1] He was initially taught piano by his mother.[1] He then studied at the High School of Performing Arts and later at Mannes College (1963–65).[1] He formed the Jazz Samaritans at the age of 18 – a band that included Billy Cobham, Steve Grossman, and Clint Houston.[1]

Cables' early influences on piano were Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock.[1]

Later life and career

Cables has played with Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper, Joe Henderson, and many other well-established jazz musicians.[2]

His own records include the 1980 Cables' Vision with Freddie Hubbard among others.[3]

From 1983 Cables worked in the project Bebop & Beyond. He left later in the 1980s, but returned for guest appearances on two early 1990s albums, before rejoining in 1998.[1]
