| From 1954 to 1956, these are the first recordings
from one of the grandmasters of African American
perspective, a genius of the acoustic piano, and
one highly exceptional composer. These milestones
are the debut recordings of Randy
Weston, and they are a special treat for anyone
who loves great Music in general, and Jazz in particular.
Pianist Weston is heard on two duets with bassist
Sam Gill from his very first session ("In The Still
Of The Night" and "What Is This Thing Called
Love"), six selections from 1955 with Gill and
drummer Art Blakey, four piano solos from 1956
and an entire quartet session with baritonist Cecil
Payne, bassist Ahmed-Abdul Malik and drummer
Wilbert Hogan. Even at that early stage, Weston
sounds quite recognizable (he was 28-30 years
old during these sessions), bringing his own original
and often-percussive interpretations to a variety
of standards plus four originals. |
