Randy Weston

I. Zep Tepi (2006)

Randy Weston, born in Brooklyn, New York in 1926, didn't have to travel far to hear the early jazz giants that were to influence him. Though Weston cites Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Art Tatum, and of course, Duke Ellington as his other piano heroes, it was Monk who had the greatest impact. In the late 60's, Weston left the U.S . but instead of moving to Europe like so many of his contemporaries, Weston went to Africa. He traveled throughout the continent tasting the musical fruits of other nations. "At the end," Weston says, "we all realized that our music was different but the same, because if you take out the African elements of bossa nova, samba, jazz, blues, you have nothing.........." .
"Zep Tepi" released in 2006 contains some extended plays from his earlier works. For details of "Zep Tepi" please see here and for "Khepera" here.
