Phantom of the City


Phantom of the City is an album by pianist George Cables, recorded in 1985 and released under the Contemporary label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic said, "Cables has long been a talented player in what could be called the 'modern mainstream': not breaking down any new boundaries but developing his own style within the flexible boundaries of hard bop. This album is an excellent example of his talents." The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the album as a "beautifully balanced piano trio record."
