Randy Weston Trio: Randy Weston, Sam Gill, Wilbert Hogan. Recorded in August 1955. Personnel: Randy Weston (piano); Wilbert G.T. Hogan (drums). Liner Note Author: Orrin Keepnews. Recording information: Hackensack, NJ (08/29/1955-08/31/1955); New Jersey (08/29/1955-08/31/1955). This 1955 effort features pianist Randy Weston, with drummer Wilbert Hogan and bass player Sam Gill, gliding through a set of seven standards and three originals. Weston would later become noted for his compositions; at this early point in his career, there are delightful glimpses of what would emerge in the coming decades. Both his "Under Blunder" and "Bass Knows" mix the blues with humor, warmth and invention. The set's remaining original is Gill's serenely inviting "A Ballad." Throughout the entire album, Weston emerges as a bracing soloist who utilizes both silence and dissonance to achieve a singularly distinct style that is both soulful and compassionate.
