"Well Water" showcases NEA Jazz Master Frank Foster's unique Big Band sound from the late 1970's. After being lost for over 30 years, this recently discovered and restored recording of Foster's Loud Minority Big Band affords jazz aficionados a new opportunity to savor his marvelous style and his departure from established traditions. As an added bonus, the liner notes contain Foster's wonderfully detailed and vivid descriptions of the band member's contributions and interplay in the various album selections.
