5.0 out of 5 stars How it should be done, May 17, 2010

This review is from: Little Niles & Piano-a-La-Mode (Audio CD)

An exemplary reissue -- Two superb albums (one quite hard to find) plus a rare track all in excellent sound and with comprehensive, thoughtful notes (some from master writer Langston Hughes). A treat for confirmed Weston fans and a charming introduction to a forceful, vivid composer and improviser. As a note on the cover puts it: "Recorded for the talented listener."
