About
RANDY WESTON / BILLY HARPER DUO
The partnership of Randy Weston and saxophonist Billy Harper dates back to the summer of '74. This musical collaboration is based as much on their mutual love of the darker hues of their respective instruments as it is their blues simpatico.
Weston and Harper bonded instantly after playing together in Tangier. "I heard that sound I like," recalls Weston, "When Billy plays the tenor it's like an orchestra - the call & response is always there, I always hear the black church in his playing, he's constantly singing through his horn. As far as why we work well together... it's the magic of that big, black sound he gets. Billy is a great blues player !...
