Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Weekend Listening Tip: Celebrating George Cables

Jim Wilke sent details about the program he has prepared for his next Jazz Northwest broadcast.

The program will be a broadcast of the complete concert “Celebrating George Cables” from McCurdy Pavilion during Centrum’s Jazz Port Townsend the last weekend of July. Pianist Cables has been a favorite for many years at the festival and the jazz workshop during the preceding week. Whether in the classroom, on the main stage or in an intimate club, he is a favorite among fans and the other musicians.

Joining George in this concert of his music will be other members of the faculty, each an international star (pictured below left to right), Dan Marcus, Jeff Hamilton, George Cables, Stefon Harris, Terell Stafford, Jeff Clayton, Tim Warfield . Mr. Cables provided special arrangements for this all-star septet.

Jazz Northwest will air on Sunday afternoon at 2 PM Pacific Time on 88.5, KNKX, and stream at knkx.org. After its broadcast, the program will be archived and available for streaming at jazznw.org
