Randy Weston performs a jazz trio interpretation of the same calypso number that inspired "St. Thomas" by Sonny Rollins. I have the good fortune of witnessing a solo performance of Randy Weston a few years ago, and he remains a master of Pan-African styles and rhythms. While this recording lacks the propulsive rhythms of Max Roach, it's still a pleasant tune with a more relaxed approach. Weston's piano solo is playful but utilizes space well.
