GIANT TALENT
A giant oi a musician, Randy Weston stands six ioot seven, one oi the most colouriul and under-rated tigures oi post-war American jazz. In his iather’s Brooklyn diner he took care oi Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Miles Davis and Max Roach. He even played piano with Charlie Parker, who encouraged him to become a iull-time musician. And when the time was right Weston played his iirst iew gigs with Art Blakey and Kenny Oorham.
Although his many compositions are bright with melody, as in the Blue Note hymn to his son Little Niles, he knows that time is at the heart oi music, and owes his allegiance to what he calls the ‘Duke-Monk school' and his love at drums, percussion and Airica. In 1968, while most black Americans only talked about their history and roots in another continent, Weston went to live in North Airica. It was the culmination at his awareness oi the ever decreasing respect ior jazz in the States, and the spiritual aiiinity he had discovered in trail blazing cultural exchanges through the early 603. He describes his tirst visit, to Nigeria with a group oi musicians including Lionel Hampton and Nina Simone, and stepping into the bright light at Lagos airport: ‘We got oil the plane and all oi a sudden we heard the sound at drums . . . I knewthen that this was my home.‘
Later he traversed the continent in a sextet that included Ctitiord Jordan on tenor and Ed Blackwell on drums, and alter a tow return visits to Morocco, settled there as a musician and

teacher.
Since the mid 703 he has toured widely, his solo piano encompassing the history at black American music, and his music optimistic, joyiul and iniectiously rhythmic. At Edinburgh's Dueens Hall on the Zist, he tops the bill.
Trad and mainstream ions can have a blow-out in Bute over the weekend oi the 28—30th, with Max Collie, Fat Sam, George Penman and many more bands. and a strenuous list oi events, including an 8-venue club crawl on the Saturday night and a Rothesay Castle Big Band Special on Sunday afternoon.
