Synopsis: For over thirty years, master drummer Al Foster has been hugely influential in the jazz world. As a member of the Miles Davis band for thirteen years, Foster has contributed greatly to Davis' music. In his 1989 autobiography, Davis describes Foster s talents: ".for what I wanted in a drummer, Al Foster had all of it." Foster has performed and recorded with a number of other artisits, including Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Hutcherson, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Randy & Michael Brecker, Bill Evans (the pianoplayer), George Benson, Kenny Drew, Carmen McRae, Stan Getz, Toots Thielemans, Dexter Gordon and Chick Corea. Over the years, Foster has also toured extensively with Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, and Joe Henderson, becoming a major attraction in all three bands as well as an integral part of them. Known for his unique telepathic-like ability to listen to and charismatically play off other musicians, Foster is also respected and admired for his keen sensitivity. A great believer in the purity of the music, Foster is 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 is a magnificent all-round drummer, and his rhythmic chops are renowned in musical styles ranging from bebop to free form to jazz/rock. This DVD shows the July 2007 concert filmed at the New Morning in Paris, where he recorded and toured with his Quintet featuring pianists Aron Goldberg & George Callaghan, sax Eli Degibri, bassist Doug Weiss & trumpet player Dr Eddie Henderson.
