Randy Weston - Nuit Africaine

A reissue in the Enja Jazz Classics mid-price series. First introduced to African music in the 1950s, Weston was invited to the inaugural Afro-American Festival in Nigeria in 1961, and then in 1967 the State Department sent him on a three-week tour to Africa, visiting 14 countries, after which he settled in Morocco to live for the six years. This solo piano outing from 1975 conveys Weston's deep passion for Morocco music.
