We mourn the passing of the legendary jazz drummer, Al Foster. Producer John Nugent toured and played with Mr. Foster at more than 100 concerts in the 1990s all over Europe. "Al was one of a kind and a mentor to many aspiring jazz drummers. He will be sadly missed." Photo: 2008 at RIJF by Jim Dolan.
