This is new to me. Anyone here have this? I just ordered a copy on Amazon.

I've never seen it before either, HBJ.  I would suspect that it's likely a re-packaging of an existing recording.

Let us know what you discover!

Another HIHAT "bootleg." (I think these would count as bootlegs. . . .) Probably good performances based on the description.

Well, being a big Weston fan, I ordered it. I am assuming it is a bootleg. I"ll update this when I get it. It is shipping from England so it will probably take a good month to get to NY.

Probably more like two weeks.

Randy Weston, solo piano live on CBC's "Jazz Beat" Program. Broadcast on the CBC's "Jazz Beat" program, this disc combines two solo performances, one from 1985 at Toronto's Bamboo club and the other from 1993 at the Edmonton Jazz City Music Festival, hosted by Katie Malloch. The entire CBC-FM broadcast is presented here with background notes and images, and includes an interview with Katie Malloch and Randy Weston.

There is no shortage of Weston solo, and I guess that applies to the bootlegs as well.  

I have twice seen Weston play solo concerts, and they were definitely fine experiences.

This will take more than a month to arrive. According to the seller, the disc will arrive by the end of January. It must be coming on the Mayflower from England. 

Arriving January 23 - February 5

The CD arrived today.  I will give it a listen.  It looks to be new and not a repackaging of some other recordings.

I am enjoying this CD. I would recommend it for any Weston fans.
