Carnival (Randy Weston album)

Carnival is a live album by American jazz pianist Randy Weston recorded in 1974 at the Montreux Jazz Festival and originally released on the Freedom label in 1975.

Reception
}} AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "This is an enjoyable and well-rounded set, easily recommended". Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote: "A delightful discovery. Weston applies the rigorous wit of Monk to easy rolling African polyrhythms, and they hold up. The title cut suggests a time when intellect is transcended rather than blotted out and makes Lonnie Liston Smith sound pretty sloppy." == Track listing ==
