Tom, can you give us a bit more information of the situation with George Cables? He had a number of very very serious health problems some years ago,

and had made a recovery. He had to cancel his appearance at the Oregon Coast Jazz Party this past October due to a health problem.

He's facing amputation of one leg and needs help especially with post-operative care/recovery.

So it is preferable to go through Jazz Foundation rather than the link above?

I once gave George and Cecil McBee a rise to the hotel from a gig. Very nice, graceful gentleman, and wonderful player.

Hoping for a full recovery.

I talked very briefly with Mr. Cables and Mr. McBee once after catching The Cookers and they both struck me as being genuinely nice men on top of being two of the greats.  It warmed my heart to see so many people stepping up to help Mr. Cables.  I hope his recovery goes well.
