The George Cables Songbook is an album by pianist George Cables that was recorded in 2016 and released on the HighNote label. [1] [2]
In JazzTimes, Mike Joyce said "Even pianist George Cables’ most devoted followers are apt to be surprised by this collection of original compositions. The surprise is not so much by the quality of the writing, as Cables’ credentials are unassailable, but by the freshness, appeal and promise heard in this new collaboration with singer and lyricist Sarah Elizabeth Charles. In Charles, Cables has found a musical soulmate who is profoundly attuned to his repertoire and playing". [3]
