This is a tribute album celebrating the 80th birthday of Weston. However, to me, it falls short. It reaks of african images and song titles but I was expecting more african sound from this. The first two tracks seem very unfocused and more like jam sessions where artists are working out certain cords to see what fits right. Some tracks are pure piano solos, which are nice but they have nothing african about them. What I do love about this album is the bass and the piano. Both are flawless and I wish it was a duo album between the two with 3+ african rythyms setting the pace. This is my first taste of Randy Weston and I'm sure he's had better albums. I just need to find them now.
