Spirits of the Ancestors: Travels with Randy Weston

Aired February 14, 2008

An extensive visit with jazz pianist maestro and pan-Africanist Randy Weston. Weston guides us through musically rich Brooklyn where he grew up during the 30s and 40s. His first encounter with Africa was in the heady days of independence in the early 60s. It was there that he formed a lifelong and artistic relationship with the Gnawa people of Morocco.
