The record
A trim, groove-centered session that finds Weston leaning hard into blues and African rhythmic feel, with Big Black's congas and Ray Copeland's brass giving the date extra warmth and swing. Frank Haynes' tenor adds a smoky, under-recognized voice alongside Weston's own probing, percussive piano.
