AL FOSTER – DRUMS
A master drummer, Al has been a major innovator
in the world of jazz for five decades. A member of
Miles Davis’ band for 13 years, Foster’s contribution
to the music is articulated by Davis himself in his
1989 autobiography.

Al Foster has toured extensively with Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Stan Getz and Bobby Hutcherson, becoming a major attraction in all six bands as well as an integral part of them. Foster is a great believer in the purity of the music, a genuine artist who continues to push the boundaries of creativity again and again, devoted to preserving and perpetuating the highest standards in jazz today.

“He [Foster] knocked me out because he had such a groove and he would just lay it right in there. That was the kind of thing I was looking for. Al could set it up for everybody else to play off and just keep the groove going forever.”
— Miles Davis
