Allmusic 3/5 stars

Kwamina is an album by American jazz pianist Billy Taylor featuring jazz interpretations of compositions from the Broadway musical Kwamina written by Richard Adler which was recorded in 1961 and released on the Mercury label.

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "the music never seriously grabs the listener's attention, though the musicians are playing up to the level one expects of them. Serious Billy Taylor fans will undoubtedly still want to search for this obscure, long unavailable record".

All compositions by Richard Adler
