Carnival (Randy Weston album).
Randolph Edward "Randy" Weston (April 6, 1926 – September 1, 2018) was an American jazz pianist and composer whose creativity was inspired by his ancestral African connection. Weston's piano style owed much to Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, whom he cited in a 2018 video as among pianists he counted as influences, as well as Count Basie, Nat King Cole and Earl Hines. Beginning in the 1950s, Weston worked often with trombonist and arranger Melba Liston.

By this time, Randy Weston had already spent six years living in North Africa, and his explorations were fruitfully influencing his music. The three extended original pieces comprising this release are a bracing mix of post-bebop jazz piano and African-influenced rhythms and improvisations. The accompanying quartet features drummer Don Moye, of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, accompanied by percussionist Steve Berrios, with bass player William Allen a formidable anchor.
