Synopsis
Product Description
"A truth seeker who sees a power in music much greater than all of us. Besides, those who have experienced Mr. Weston and African Rhythms know he is right by how the music makes us feel."
-- New York Times "No musician has been more devoted to exploring the connection between Afro-American classical music (jazz) and the ancestral spirits and rhythms of the African continent than Randy Weston."
-- All About Jazz "Jazz has never known a master builder quite like Weston."
-- Chicago Sun Times A very special live recording from NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston, whose music encompasses the vast rhythmic heritage of Africa with global creations that musically inform and inspire. * The Storyteller stands out in Weston's wide discography as the premier recording of new arrangements of Weston classics; as Weston's first performance with jazz lion Lewis Nash on drums; and, sadly, as the last recording of Weston's long time collaborator, trombone legend Benny Powell (1930-2010.)
* Release coincides with the 50th anniversary of Weston's landmark 1960 recording Uhuru Afrika, and with the publication of his autobiography African Rhythms, which documents one of the most extraordinary lives in jazz.
