George Cables has long been one of the top modern mainstream pianists, developing his own voice in the straight-ahead jazz tradition. On this CD he performs eight of his originals, Erik Satie's haunting "Gymnopedie," and a trio ballad version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." Other than the latter and a solo piano piece ("Helen's Mothers Song"), all of the selections are performed by Cables in a quartet. Gary Bartz is an asset, splitting his time evenly between alto and soprano. The music is both thoughtful and swinging with the attractive jazz tango "Senorita de Aranjuez," "Alice Brown" (which sounds as if it could have been written by Horace Silver), and the attractive bop piece "Tasshi's Night Out" being highlights. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
This is classic material from George Cables, paired here with Gary Bartz, Victor Lewis and Peter Washington. George performs eight of his latest compositions, both uptempo and ballads, along with two beautiful renditions of standards, Eric Satie's "Gymno

The Castle/Sanctuary reissues of the Perception catalog from the early to mid-'70s have been a blessing in that they put the former soul-funk label's offerings -- many of which were hard to come by in their original editions despite the top-tier names who recorded them (Fatback Band, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, et al). Two of the more obscure offerings the label issued were by soul-jazz poet Wanda Robinson from Baltimore, who issued a pair of printed collections, as well, and has since disappeared from public life. The two albums, Black Ivory (named for her backing band) and Me & a Friend, were issued in 1971 and 1973, respectively, and offer a portrait of the artist as a (righteously) angry young woman about social mores, political injustices, and sexual politics and were produced by jazz composer and pianist Anthony Davis. The 11 cuts that make up Black Ivory are rooted by a chamber jazz group of piano, flute and saxes, bass, and a drum kit textured by strings, a horn section, and a bluesy electric guitar in places ("Parting Is Such," "Tragedy No. 456 6.04"). The poems are ...

Dave grew up surrounded by the active folk scene of Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. during the 1960s and 70s, where he was exposed to a variety of musical traditions and was inspired by performers like Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie. At age 9, Dave wrote his first song - the same year he met the legendary Libba Cotton ("Freight Train") and was invited to accompany her on stage. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, he continued to write and perform, both solo and with several bands in the D.C. area, London, and New York City. He studied music and philosophy at Columbia and Oxford universities, earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California, Davis (1997), and promptly retired from academia to dedicate himself to music. "Dr. Dave" also released his debut CD, "Candy Shower," in 1997 and followed this up with a live CD recording, "Snapshots" (1998). Both albums met with critical acclaim and tracks from the CDs have received honors in national songwriting competitions and airplay on commercial, public, and grass-roots community radio stations, nationwide. Having paid his dues playing at bars, restaurants and coffeehouses, Dave has built up an active mailing list of over 4,000 fans throughout the country and is now performing as an opening and featured act at some of the better-known listening rooms, performing arts centers, and college venues."Heartfelt, inspired songwriting...with a delivery both biting and assured." Paul Zollo, SingOut! Magazine "Blending of beautiful lyrics ...
