Notes:

-Little Niles

"I'm convinced that Randy Weston is one of the few key figures in modern jazz. 'Little Niles' provides a glimpse into Weston's waltz-filled world and it’s a rewarding experience."


-Piano a-la-mode

"Rarely, in the mass of LPs, pleasant and otherwise, you encounter a genuinelysignificant one. This is such an LP."

Both by Don Gold -Down Beat (1959)
