Randy Weston is a living legend of global jazz and – at 6’ 8” tall – a literal giant of the ivories. Few other jazz artists have so effectively incorporated the vast rhythmic heritage of Africa in their music; on stage and on disc, his musical creations continue to inform and inspire. This week, the great pianist will pilot the well–oiled music machine he calls the African Rhythms Quintet, featuring alto saxophonist TK Blue and trombonist Robert Trowers (who replaced longtime ARQ member Benny Powell after Powell’s death in 2010 at age 80.) “Weston has the biggest sound of any jazz pianist since Ellington and Monk, as well as the richest and most inventive beat, but his art is more than projection and time; it's the result of a stu�dious and inspired intelligence...an intelligence that is creating a fresh synthesis of African elements with jazz technique.” (Stanley Crouch, The Village Voice)
TK Blue – alto sax and flute
Robert Trowers – trombone
