Editorial Reviews
Both as performer and composer, Randy Weston is a considerable figure in modern jazz piano, with a highly distinctive style: percussive, decidedly rhythmic, full of charm and encompassing a wide variety of moods. His gifts are much in evidence on this fine CD, which gathers two of his albums from the late 1950s. On the fashionable jazz version of Harold Romes s Broadway hit, Destry Rides Again, he reveals a particular interest in the melodic beauty of the songs, emerging from the stylized four-trombone ensemble work arranged by Melba Liston to provide what is, in many ways, a rewarding experience. On Little Niles, in an effective, unpretentious reflection on his childhood impressions, he plays his own compositions, with Melba Liston again doing the arranging on a great album that provides an insightful glimpse into Weston s waltzfilled world. Throughout, his playing shows a rare combination of strength and gentleness, in an ebb and flow of sound as fluid and natural as the waves of the sea.

Reseñas Editoriales
Tanto como intérprete como compositor, Randy Weston es una figura considerable en el piano de jazz moderno, con un estilo muy distintivo: percusivo, decididamente rítmico, lleno de encanto y que abarca una amplia variedad de estados de ánimo. Sus dones son muy evidentes en este excelente CD, que reúne dos de sus álbumes de finales de la década de 1950. En la versión de jazz de moda del éxito de Broadway de Harold Romes, Destry Rides Again, revela un interés particular en la belleza melódica de las canciones, surgiendo del estilizado trabajo de conjunto de cuatro trombones organizado por Melba Liston para proporcionar lo que es, en muchos sentidos, una experiencia gratificante. En Little Niles, en una reflexión efectiva y sin pretensiones sobre sus impresiones de la infancia, interpreta sus propias composiciones, con Melba Liston nuevamente haciendo los arreglos en un gran álbum que brinda una visión perspicaz del mundo lleno de vals de Weston. En todo momento, su interpretación muestra una rara combinación de fuerza y dulzura, en un flujo y reflujo de sonido tan fluido y natural como las olas del mar.
