George Cables: Icons and Influences
Un artista poco esposto mediaticamente, che, alla testa del suo trio, ci regala una squisita musicalità, autenticamente profonda. Ne discende una prova di grande eleganza, condotta con swing e souplesse per far apparire semplice e naturale ciò che facile in realtà non è. La sostanzia una maestria tecnica che rifugge da virtuosismi compiaciuti, per porsi al servizio dell'interplay e della comunicazione. Niente divismo e giochi gigioneschi, solo armonizzazioni sontuose per costruzioni melodiche accattivanti, illuminate da un contagioso feeling blues.
Come valore aggiunto, una vibrante espressività che sembra riassumere l'essenza del jazz: comunicativa, swing, capacità di trasmettere profonde emozioni, racchiusi nell'attimo irripetibile di aforistici giochi solistici. Un CD altamente istruttivo per capire perché
