		Randolph E. "Randy" Weston was born in Brooklyn on April 6, 1925; his father, a Jamaican born in Panama, was interested in all aspects of African culture, and a collector of books on the subject as well as recordings by Armstorn, Billy Holiday, Louis Jordan, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Jimmie Lunceford and Bessie Smith.
		Randy was already active politically, and close to Max Roach in this area, and in 1955 he dedicated his composition "Zulu" to Africa, with whose problems he was especially concerned.
		During his stay, Randy became familiar with the music of the region, and took a special interest in the music of the Gnaouas, whose ancestors were slaves from the coast of West Africa.

	Mosaic Select: Randy Weston (MS-004)
		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.
		Weston is original and well-crafted-unlike many hard bop "compositions" which tend to be blues riffs with predictable rhythmic hits.
		Weston is not a particularly florid player-he exhibits some of the restraint of Ahmad Jamal which help shape his compositions-but he can keep pace with the lightning speed right handers as well.Like many tasteful and technically skilled players (Guitarist Tony Purrone for example)speed only appears when neccesary.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Solo, Duo & Trio - Randy Weston
		Second, Weston even then, before he moved to North Africa, had an ear for the nuances of third world rhythm.
		Weston also is shown to be a deft composer, foreshadowing his later work; a romantic balladeer; and a smart bandleader, shown in his use of Art Blakey as drummer (check out the drummer's taut-skin opening to the CD).
		When he plays Cole Porter with only a bass as accompaniment (the second LP on this reissue), he makes the work his own, lauding its melodies as he modulates keyboard voices to evoke the piano stylings of rag and early Tin Pan Alley jazz and then slightly reformulating them atop new rhythmic foundations.

	Music \| Randy Weston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This three-CD collection of previously released and unreleased sessions from disparate labels by pianist/composer Randy Weston is important for at least a couple of reasons: it captures important early work by a significant figure in jazz, and it collects some sterling all-star sessions.
		From 1958 to 1963, Weston was in the midst of a transformation — from a Monk-and-Ellington-influenced hard-bop pianist/composer to a man whose first-hand research in Morocco and West Africa created a body of work unlike any other.
		Bobby Benson’s "Niger Mambo" has both dancelike poppiness and concert-jazz gravity, and the orchestral breadth of Weston’s own "In Memory Of" puts him in the realm of Ellington and Mingus, especially in the Duke-like assuredness of his own piano playing.
