Random Chance CD
Randy Weston returns to the trio format for the first time in over thirty
years with Zep Tepi. Poised to enter his eighth decade on the planet, Weston
is an elder in every sense of the term. His distinctively percussive attack,
yard-wide chords, criss-crossing rhythms and idiosyncratic melodies remain
sui generis. Both literally (he's 6'9”) and figuratively, Weston is a giant
of the music.

Mutable Records 2CD's
Randy Weston's mastery and inventiveness as a piano soloist is beautifully
celebrated on this two-CD
package, combining a 1983 recording originally issued on 1750 Arch Records
with a new, previously unreleased session recorded 17 years later. No decisive
breaks or radical new directions are charted during that span. Instead, the
set's two parts basically feel cut from the same cloth, maybe like they're
bookends on this period in Weston's creative life. It's as if the recent recording
is addressed to the older one-an answer for the unanswered questions of the
first LP, slightly more solemn in tone, but just as plump with ideas.

Verve 1998 CD
This recording could easily have been named "Sankofa" because it required
all the participants, from the musicians, to the scholars, to the researchers
and writers, to the listeners, to the arranger,
Melba Liston, and even Randy himself, to go back, to reach back into the
past to learn more about the past in order to understand the present and go
forth into the future.
