Encompassing the vast rhythmic heritage of Africa, "Weston has the biggest sound of any jazz pianist since Ellington and Monk, as well as the richest most inventive beat," states jazz critic Stanley Crouch, "but his art is more than projection and time; it's the result of a studious and inspired intelligence...an intelligence that is creating a fresh synthesis of African elements with jazz technique."

Med'Set is a project born from the common desire of singer-violinist Akim El Sikameya and festival director Sete Sois Sete Luas to give life, by music, to this idea of a Mediterranean culture, common to all people of the region, and stronger than any political division.

Such appreciation for timbre on this level in Western music has only been present since the beginning of the 20th century in classical music.

Though he was born in the string quarry of Russia and refined in the purifying precincts of Juilliard, Zhurbin turned out to be a lover of gritty hybrids.
