An unusual record for
Randy Weston – a freewheeling live set recorded at Montreux in 1974, with
Billy Harper joining
Weston's group on tenor and flute, playing long spiritual solos that work wonderfully next to
Weston's spiralling piano lines!
Harper's searching quality really opens up the set, and
Weston's rhythmic pulse keeps him from overly blowing, as on some of his own albums from the time – and the rough edges of the group give the session a nice degree of bite! The rest of the group features William Allen on bass, Don Moye on drums, and Steve Berrios on percussion and tracks include "Mystery Of Love", "Tribute To Duke Ellington", and "Carnival".
