About the Album

Towards the end of the recording session for “Heart”, I asked Al Foster if he’d be open to playing a few completely improvised things. We had already recorded a lot of standards and, Al being such a fantastic listener and improviser, I wanted to see what would happen without a framework. I wasn’t sure he was going to see yes, but he was down to do it, even though, much to my surprise, he said he had never done it before. He ended up loving it. I had noticed that when warming up for the session, Al played some really great grooves, so for “Lead the Way”, I just asked him to start a groove and we all played off that, hence the title!
