George Cables RUINS Dexter Gordon's Night Ballads

[Kyo]

Oh, a Dexter Gordon release with George Cables that I've missed so far? Thanks for mentioning it!

I'm glad George Cables is still around and recording. I heard he had a multiple organ transplant.

I've been hearing a new recording they've been playing on the local jazz station. He plays Lush Life, and my comment would be that as a lover and purveyor of saloon songs I would've liked to hear more of the lyric and less of a piano showcase. But that's just me, maybe pianistas would dig it. Also he plays a wrong note in the melody---repeatedly.

But I repeat: I'm glad this fine player with a great history is still around and producing.

I think he does a fine job with the Cookers and I like his work on the Dexter mosaic set even if his solos are a bit too long. A very nice gentleman as well. I hope his health is ok.
