The archive is not a vault.
It is an instrument.

Every recovered master begins with listening: to the performance, to the room, to the era—and to what a new audience is ready to hear.

Jazz pianist and composer Randy Weston

Recovered for 2026

Randy Weston, heard anew.

Three previously unreleased concert programs reveal Weston across a remarkable arc: directing his African Rhythm Orchestra at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, leading a big band in Montreux and meeting Monty Alexander in a series of festival piano encounters.

Issued with In+Out for Weston’s centenary, the albums embody the Groovin’High approach—historical importance matched by musical immediacy.
