Get Happy with the Randy Weston Trio


Get Happy with the Randy Weston Trio is a jazz album by American jazz pianist Randy Weston recorded in 1955 and released on the Riverside label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Jim Todd stated: "This early release from Randy Weston finds the pianist still in his formative stages... The set shows Weston's facility with standards, Ellingtonia, even ragtime, but, with several tracks coming in well under four minutes, the performances offer little room for development. The impression here is that of a pianist of great potential limbering up before the curtain rises for the show".
