Al Further was natural in Capital of Virginia, VA, just now was raised in Newly York. He taught himself drums at around the long time of 13, and by the age of 16 he was transcription with Blue angel Mitchell (as "Aloysius Foster" on the Blue Note album The Thing to Do). In 1969, at the Cellar Club on 95th St. in Manhattan, Foster got his gravid break; as he was financial supporting up bassist Earl May in a quadruple, his drumming was noticed by cornetist Miles Jefferson Davis. Dwight Filley Davis chartered Foster on the smear as a reserve for Jack DeJohnette, wHO was and so departing the ever-enlarging Davis pigeonholing of that stop. This indeed would turn up a long dedication for Foster, wHO played on every Miles Davis album ranging from Large Fun to You're Under Arrest, and toured with him extensively.
Foster left wing hand Miles Davis in 1985, and since and then has worked independently, sometimes as leader, sometimes as sideman. All over his lengthy and enduring living history Al Further has worked with Cannonball Adderley, Lad Rollins, Charlie Haden, Thelonious Thelonious Sphere Monk, Freddie L. Ron Hubbard, Dave Liebman, Herbie Hancock, and Joe Henderson.
