An artist of moderate success yet monumental influence, Weldon Irvine was an American jazz pianist, composer, and organist. He was a pioneer of jazz-funk fusion and served as Nina Simone's band leader. Irvine made significant contributions to the 1970s Black Arts Movement, writing over 500 songs and more than 50 theatre plays. His impact on hip hop is undeniable, from its inception to its golden era of consciousness and heavy jazz-laden sampling by artists like Mos Def and Q-Tip. In his long-time residence in Jamaica/St. Albans, Queens, Irvine's dedicated mentorship helped develop some of the most well-known figures in jazz today.

In 1974 Weldon released his In Harmony LP. The two tracks here are, “Fat Mouth” which, as expected, features the signature Weldon rift. This clavinet-heavy groove is backed up with the mighty Joe Jones on Hammond organ; and is all held steady with the pumping drums from Napoleon Revels. “Turkish Bath” is a laid-back jazz groove, with Weldon laying down a superb lead Rhodes story and melody. Backed up with Joe Jones on the piano. Weldon’s keyboard echoes throughout his music with such simplicity.
