Randy Weston African Rhythms
Zep Tepi
Random Chance CD
more >>
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.
