Legendary jazz musicians have one thing in common: No matter what instrument they may play ... they almost never play the same song twice.

Randy Weston was a legendary pianist whose lifelong dedicationto honouring the African roots of jazz produced 51 albums in a 54 year career; and in each performance, the very nature of jazz became a musical conversation between artists.

Jazz is a language unto itself

Themes emerge, solos shift and crest like ocean waves, and the steady beats hold everything together as the listener is taken on a journey. When the music leads and your heart follows, that's jazz.

Two nights - 5 legendary musicians

The African Rhythms Alumni Ensemble (ARAE), featuring five legendary musicians who were part of Randy Weston's original African Rhythms band, take the stage in Winnipeg for two extraordinary performances on Saturday, November 29 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 30 at 2:00 p.m. at the Berney Theatre, Asper Jewish Community Campus, 123 Doncaster Street.
