- BIO - Randy Weston
Real Name:
Randolph E. Weston
Profile:
Randy Weston (born April 6, 1926, Brooklyn, New York, USA; died September 1, 2018, New York City, NY, USA) was an American jazz pianist and composer, of Jamaican parentage 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.

Described as "America's African Musical Ambassador", he said: "What I do I do because it's about teaching and informing everyone about our most natural cultural phenomenon. It's really about Africa and her music."

 He died at his home in Brooklyn on September 1, 2018, at the age of 92.
