African Rhythms (African Cookbook/Niles Little Big)
CD (Item 601011) Polydor/Comet (France), 1969 — Condition: Used
Related searches
A great CD that combines two groundbreaking albums by Randy Weston from the end of the 60s! The albums were recorded in Paris – that hotbed of post-colonial culture in the post-68 days – one of the few places where Weston could really open up, and create the kind of music he'd been talking about for most of the decade. The group on the set is Weston's African Rhythms ensemble – an unique combo that featured Art Taylor on the drum kit, plus additional percussion from Niles Weston and Reebop Kwaku Baah. The great Henri Texier sounds fantastic on bass – grooving with a deeply rhythmic pulse – creating soulful lines for Weston to groove away with. The sound on the albums is a lot freer than some of Weston's other work from the 60s – exploratory tracks that open up in a wealth of cross-cultural rhythms, taking Randy's piano to untold heights! Titles include "Pam's Waltz", "Little Niles", "Niger Mambo", "CW Blues", "Waltz For Sweet Cakes", "Hi Fly ", "African Cookbook", "A Night In Medina", "Afro Black", "Con Alma", and "Jajouka". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
