2017.06.12 Ben Perowsky on Al Foster 3 of 3

People talk about “the rhythm of New York.” Is there really such a thing? Can you see it in the way people walk? The way they talk? Is it in their music? Are New York drummers a distinct group? Drummer Ben Perowsky says there’s no doubt about it, and who is a better example of it than native New Yorker Al Foster? On tonight’s Deep Focus, Ben and host Mitch Goldman will listen to rare recordings of Al with Miles Davis and with Joe Henderson from the WKCR archives.
