Randy Weston is not only in direct lineage of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, he was also the real integrator of African music into the Jazz World. In 1985 the city of Brooklyn honored Randy with a week-long tribute, culminating in a unique concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on February 16. For this rare occasion, Randy assembled a dream ensemble - dancers, singers (including Andy Bey), and a big band like no other. The arrangements and conducting were entrusted to none other than Melba Liston - his trusted collaborator and musical sister. Melba, a brilliant trombonist and an even more masterful arranger, transformed Randy's compositions into grand orchestrations that paid tribute to his musical legacy. One of three releases marking the 100th birthday of Randy Weston. It features previously unreleased live material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 African Sunrise \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Last Day \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Portrait Of Vivian \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Blue Moses \u003cbr\u003e1.5 African Sunrise \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Last Day \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Portrait Of Vivian \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Blue Moses\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Randy Weston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42655322341447,"sku":"46002297","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4493690-3610846.jpg?v=1780570327","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/weston-randy-african-rhythm-orchestra-brooklyn-academy-of-music-1985-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
