O’s Notes: George Cables is a seasoned jazz pianist. He teams up with bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Victor Lewis to celebrate his Icons & Influences. The first three selections are original tunes dedicated to “Cedar Walton”, (“Farewell) Mulgrew” Miller and himself “Happiness”. From there George pays homage to Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Benny Golson and several other influential pianists. Cables and company do a fine job on this material including some lesser-known pieces.
