George Cables Trio and Madeline Eastman at Stanford Jazz Festival

Individually, vocalist Madeline Eastman and pianist George Cables have achieved just about all there is to achieve in jazz. They’ve toured the world, performed and recorded with the greats, and won accolades and admiration from the press and the people alike. What happens when they’re together? Only you will know. At this special closing evening of the Stanford Jazz Festival, you’ll get to hear what happens when these two towering talents, these most sensitive of artists, spontaneously create music together.

She is in charge.”...
