Ooooooh that first performance video clip says SO much, they are SO locked yet loose as can be.

i love this! did you ever end up posting the talks about other drummers? i’d love to hear them!!! so much to gain, thank you for this chris

[@Terry-oj2bi]

Love the insight from Doug on not only Al Foster's musicianship but what kind of person he is.Thanks for the episode Chris!

Al is very special and IMO the ideal bassist with him was George Mraz. I was lucky enough to have both of them at my record session as well as quite a few live gigs.

I saw Mike Nock live with Mraz and Mike Brecker live at a street concert on 52nd St. in the late 1970s when I was a teenager. I was floored and ran out immediately to buy the record with that same team: In, Out and Around - still love that record and it’s amazing how a particular group and/or rhythm section can leave a lifelong imprint on a young musician

Thank you for this video, and sharing your knowledge with the drumming community in all your videos. With so many great masters it's easy for some to fly under the radar. You've definitely got me focused on Al Foster, and his master musicianship. Thank you!!!
