By George: George Cables Plays the Music of George Gershwin
composed by George Gershwin, 1898-1937; performed by George Cables, 1944-, John Heard, 1938- and Ralph Penland (Contemporary, 2001), 45 mins, 7 page(s)
Assisted by bassist John Heard and drummer Ralph Penland on four of the six tracks, pianist George Cables explores six very familiar George Gershwin compositions. The fact that he was able to come up with fresh statements on these warhorses (and still stay melodic) says a great deal about Cables's inventiveness. ~...

The guitar adaptations of famous and not-so-famous Gershwin numbers (Scandal Walk is a nice inclusion) on this album are a strong attraction. They are by classical guitarist Jerry Willard himself, and they're quite distinctive in style. It might have been good if this booklet told us more about how they were put together and less about the songs themselves; discussions of lyrics on an instrumental release are not of primary relevance. According to the notes, Willard drew on a variety of sources: commercial arrangements of Gershwin's songs for other instruments (which are indeed numerous), Gershwin's piano roll recordings, and The Gershwin Songbook, Gershwin's own remarkable 1932 collection of piano arrangements of his songs. The last-named group seems to have exerted the strongest influence on Willard's transcriptions, which are technically complex, free in rhythm, and evocative of improvisation. The result is an unusual tour through Gershwin's hits, with a consistently high level of playing and a meditative yet precise sensibility largely unlike that heard in the many thousands of jazz treatments of Gershwin's tunes. It's as if a lutenist from the olden days had somehow been deposited in a Jazz Age hotel lounge. Reactions to this kind of playing will be personal, and sampling one of the more harmonically complex pieces, like Someone to Watch Over Me, track 11, will give the buyer an idea of his or her own -- after having to get by on boomy, in-your-face sound that's entirely at odds with the damped ambiance and the quiet conviviality that the music seems to demand. ~ James Manheim, All Music Guide

The unusual repertoire on this set -- which includes "Louisiana," "Indiana," and "12th Street Rag," along with four Kessel originals and more usual standards -- would by itself make this bop/cool set noteworthy. Add to that a very interesting lineup of players (trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Georgie Auld or Bill Perkins on tenor, pianist Jimmy Rowles, the rhythm guitar of Al Hendrickson, bassist Red Mitchell, and Shelly Manne or Irv Cottler on drums) and some excellent showcases for Kessel, and the overall result is a CD highly recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
