Daily best music in the world: Al a la Roy

An interesting recording here, featuring Al Foster sounding for all the world like Roy Haynes— with the snappy, aggressive snare drum, occasional flamboyant tom tom moves, with a broken/open time feel the whole time. Much of this Foster is playing 3/4 time over 4/4. 




IDEOLOGICAL INTERLUDE: This is the kind of record you find used for $5 on vinyl, $3 on CD. Those are the ones you grab. Buy them and listen to them. There's no excuse for not owning a CD player. It's still a major medium for music industry professionals. People serious about music have a permanent library, they do not leave their access to it to the whim of some high tech vampire squid
