African Cookbook

Randy Weston's modernist jazz masterpiece, recorded in the mid-60s and released by Atlantic Records in 1972. This album captures Weston at his creative peak, blending rich African influences with sharp contemporary edges. Featuring Big Black on congas, Booker Ervin on tenor, and Ray Copeland on trumpet and arrangements, the session flows with progressive spirit across standout tracks like "Niger Mambo," "African Cookbook," and the classic "Congolese Children."
