Personnel: Randy Weston (piano); Cecil Payne (baritone saxophone); Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass); Al Dreares (drums). Recorded at the Cafe Bohemia, New York, New York on October 25, 1956. Originally released on Riverside (12-232). Digitally remastered by Gary Hobish (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley). This is a live set recorded at New York City's Cafe Bohemia in 1956. As on Randy Weston's WITH THESE HANDS album, baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne makes a guest appearance, augmenting the rhythm section of bass player Ahmed Abdul-Malik and drummer Al Dreares. While lacking the dimension of a controlled studio session, the interplay here is warm and genuine and the audience justifiably captivated. "You Go to My Head" shows the clear influence of Thelonious Monk (an influence that shares space with Weston's lifelong interest in African musical traditions). The one Weston original here is his refreshing "Chessman's Delight." Thirty years old at the time of this performance, Weston was already a formidable and inventive stylist, and was soon to blossom into a sterling pianist.
