CELEBRATING MARCH IS CABARET MONTH
The George Cables Songbook with Victor Lewis will be presented atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Wednesday, Match 20th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. The show also features Eddie Henderson, Dezron Douglas, Steve Berrios, and Sarah Elizabeth Charles. Born in New York City, Cables was classically trained as a youth and when he started at the "Fame" worthy High School of Performing Arts, he admitted that he didn't know anything about jazz. But he was soon smitten with the potential for freedom of expression he heard in jazz. The young Cables was impressed by such keyboardists as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Cables attended Mannes College of Music for two years and by 1964 he was playing in a band called The Jazz Samaritans which included such rising stars as Billy Cobham, Lenny White. and Clint Houston. Gigs around New York at the Top of the Gate, Slugs, and other clubs attracted attention to Cables' versatility and before long he had recorded with tenor saxophonist Paul Jeffrey, played on Max Roach's "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and earned a brief 1969 tenure at the piano bench with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He has performed and recorded with some of the greatest jazz musicians of our time, including: Joe Henderson, Roy Haynes, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Sarah Vaughn, Tony Williams, Bobby Hutcherson and Dizzy Gillespie. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
