"Weston's pianistics have an individuality all their own. When Randy plays, a combination of strength and gentleness, virility and velvet emerges from the keys in an ebb and flow of sound seemingly as natural as the waves of the sea." - Langston Hugehes, Original liner notes
Limited Edition: 5000 copies
The Infectious Joy of Music
Like his early mentor Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston's piano style is both original and steeped in jazz history. He drew upon the rhythmic drive of the Harlem masters, the rich chords and wide voicings of Ellington and the spare, jabbing right hand of Count Basie. To this mix, he would later incorporate melodic and rhythmic forms from all over Africa. And from the outset, he was a gifted composer with an early penchant for 3/4 time; many of his tunes would become jazz standards eclipsing their creator in popularity.
Despite the irresistible melodic and rhythmic appeal of his music, Weston has never achieved the popularity that he deserved. Throughout the decades, he has moved from label to label and from continent to continent making magnificent music and avid converts everywhere he played.
A SENSE OF JOY
This set, spanning 1957 to '63, offers highpoints of every facet of his music, all of which exudes a joyous spirit that is the nature of the man himself. The earliest, Piano-A-La-Mode (Jubilee) is a solo and trio date that focused on Randy's unique and vibrant piano style. A year later, Little Niles with a sextet featuring Johnny Griffin and Live At The Five Spot with Coleman Hawkins and Kenny Dorham, both for United Artists, reveal a prolific and startling fresh jazz composer as does a previously unissued 1960 Roulette album with Cecil Payne, Ron Carter and Roy Haynes.
Perhaps Weston's greatest contribution is fusing jazz with authentic forms of African music. His first albums in the field, Uhuru Afrika (Roulette, 1960) and Highlife (Colpix, 1963), are masterpieces that blended richly arranged ensembles with such great soloist as Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard and Booker Ervin with galvanizing polyrhythmic drum ensembles.
It is an honor to bring these extremely rare gems back to life; mastered in 24-bit from the original master tapes with astounding sonic results. |
