Press reviews

Down Beat 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 its 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 (1959)
