| A piece of the history of jazz music, since, very young, in early the ‘70s he joined Miles Davis’ famous group, Al Foster's inventiveness and powerful drive are provided for at best together with the quartet that, since ’97, has seen Foster escorted by young and brilliant jazz players: saxophonist Eli DeGibri, who, after his debut recording with Herbie Hancock, followed the very first steps of Foster’s band, pianist Kevin Hays, who succeeded Aaron Goldberg in ’99, double-bass player Douglas Weiss, who also distinguished himself with Brad Mehldau and flaking the likes of Toshiko Kiyoshi, Lee Konitz, Chris Potter and other relevant players as well. With such impressive musicians, versatile drum player has played nearly 500 dates all around the world, from concert halls in Europe to small clubs, to the famed New York Village Vanguard where, after 12 years since his last recording, he played the present album for the label Jazz Eyes: recorded live in the sacred atmosphere of the new temple of NYC jazz, here are six tunes including ESP and Blue in Green, two standards being a significant homage to the jazz of all time. |
