„I replaced Jack de Johnette on the drums with Al Foster who I first heard at a cellar club 95th street Manhattan. He knocked me out ‘cause he had such a groove, and he would just clay 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 keep the groove going forever, for what I wanted in a drummer – Al Foster had it all.“ (Miles Davis)
Grosse Worte von jemandem, der bekannt für seine oft beleidigende Kritik war. Al Foster verdient dieses Lob! Wir freuen uns auf einen ganz Grossen der Jazzgeschichte! CH
