This is effectively a summary of the great pianist's contribution to jazz. For the best part of six decades, Weston has stood firm on the foundation of Monk, Ellington and Powell in order to build his own vocabulary, which itself has exerted a considerable influence on others. Not for nothing does Weston call his ensemble the African Rhythms Sextet, because both the pulse of the motherland as well as its many diasporas in the Caribbean and South America are writ large on the music, which in many instances, becomes a confluence of Afro jazz and Latin jazz, replete with quite gorgeous Gillespiana quotations. The sextet has been together for many years now and the rhythmic cohesion is as strong as it has ever been. But it is when Weston plays unaccompanied, and all the drumming is transferred to the keyboard amid those sonorous bass notes, that the magic reaches fever pitch. The programme includes several classic Weston pieces such as ‘African Sunrise’ and ‘Hi Fly’ as well as a fine version of one of Weston's favourite covers – Guy Warren's ‘Love, The Mystery Of.’
