George Cables : Cocktail Hour.

[Hardbopjazz]

Anyone know more about this release? I'm a big George Cables fan. I came across this while looking for one of his early 1970s releases on Atlas.

I'd say the Kenny Barron album on that label looks tastier

I ordered a copy of both of these CDs. The Barron one sounds particularly interesting. I got it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1883914361

I also ordered this one from that label:

Sharon O'Connor is quite the entrepreneur!

I got this one in and spun it last night. It's definitely "Italian restaurant music". It does break out into some jazzier sections but it's mostly not. I still like it for what it is.

I have the George Cables and Kenny Barron.

Haven't played them in a long time. Put them on the pile I hope to play soon.

I have been playing the Cables CD a few times this past week and it is as advertised: Jazz for the cocktail hour. Nothing breaks the rules... just lightly swinging piano to sip a drink to.

I also got the Barron disc (after two tries to get the package with the CD and not just the cookbook. This I like quite a bit.
