Well my summer isn’t starting off so well, but I don’t really want to get into the whole situation. It does mean though that I’ll have to be a bit creative for a while since I love this blog and want you to like it and return over and over again 
Earlier I mentioned one of my favorites, Randy Weston. So with a bit of digging around, here’s a very short slice of bio about him compliments of Wikipedia.org:
Randy Weston has had a considerable career in jazz as a pianist, composer, and bandleader. He emerged in the mid-1950s, being voted New Star Pianist in Down Beat magazine’s International Critics’ Poll of 1955, the year after his recording debut as a leader, with the album Cole Porter In a Modern Mood. Several notable albums followed, including Little Niles near the end of that decade. His piano style owes much to Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk (he has paid direct tribute to both), but it is highly distinctive in its qualities: percussive, highly rhythmic, capable of producing a wide variety of moods.
And nothing rounds out info quite like a music video! I even found a flash movie for your enjoyment
And here’s the video movie, called Randy Weston Spirit! The Power of Music (in flash)
