 Al Foster, master drummer, has been a major innovator in the world of jazz for several decades. As a member of the Miles Davis band for thirteen years, Foster's contribution to Davis' music is articulated by Davis himself in his 1989 autobiography "Miles: The Autobiography", where Davis describes the first time he heard Foster play live in 1972 at the Cellar Club on 95th Street in Manhattan: 'He [Foster] knocked me out because he had such a groove and he would just lay it right in there. That was the kind of thing I was looking for. AI could set it up for everybody else to play off and just keep the groove going forever." Over the years, Foster has toured extensively with Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, and Joe Henderson, becoming a major attraction in all three bands as well as an integral part of them. Respected and admired for his keen sensitivity, Foster is known for his unique ability to listen to and playoff others in an almost telepathic way, responding to them with a style that is at once both charismatic and understated. Al Foster, is a great believer in the purity of the music, a genuine artist who continues to push the boundaries of creativity again and again, devoted to preserving and perpetuating the highest standards in jazz today.

After the release of “PMML” (Russian abbreviation for "Forgive Me My Love") in March of 2000, “Zemfiromania” swept the country. "Iskala" (“Searched”) and "Sozrela" (“Ripe”) received heavy airplay from nearly all radio stations, propelling the then tyro to greater popularity. The band was invited to headline the Maxidrom festival and since Zemfira has been the hottest ticket at any venue. Her songs shaped the whole generation's outlook. The debut self-titled album and “PMML” were the “reference books” for boys and girls aged 16-20. Now these ex-pupils have grown up but they keep this pure freedom in their hearts, the freedom Zemfira taught them to feel. Read more
