king ubu Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 That's he who wrote that beautiful song "Mystery of Love", right? I enjoy that each time I hear a Randy Weston recording of it! r.i.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 R.I.P. I only know the one tune Ubu mentioned, but was always curious about him. Is there anything available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 R.I.P. I only know the one tune Ubu mentioned, but was always curious about him. Is there anything available? On CD, I could only find The Divine Drummer (I haven't heard it). http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Drummer-Guy-W...5428&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 This album is an early example of a jazz/African drumming hybrid (discounting the fact that jazz derived in part from African music, duh...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 An informative obit here from The Times. Times Obit I'm sure I saw a TV programme many years ago with him, Ginger Baker and others jamming in an African village. Would love to see that again.

Teasing the Korean Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Guy Warren recorded two library albums for KPM: Native Africa 1 and Native Africa 2. Both of these are available as lossless downloads from Qobuz. I may have to get these. I have his African Drums RCA LP and also Africa Speaks, America Answers on Decca. HIs other Decca album African Rhythms is very hard to find. I don't have any of those UK albums that were referenced earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
