I feel like Al Foster somehow always plays the hippest and most exciting thing possible at the moment, but that also swings the HARDEST and never feels “slick” or too complicated at all. i think he has such an original and genuine style and sound of his own on the drums. i saw him play on three different nights in NY with different bands and hearing him play live changed the way I think about music. I also had the chance to talk with him after a set and he was so sweet and open. he told me and my friend a funny story he had about his old friend Max Roach! so much respect for this man! ❤️❤️❤️
Well, Mark's previous idea involved all those half notes on the and of 2 and the and of 4. I guess Al was listening to that figure and happened to line up at the time that mark did a short note there instead. Also It's pretty common for dummers to land on the and of 4 at the end of an 8 bar section, which is where that hit lands. Al lands on 4 + into almost every new section and also half way through the A sections as well. Drummers do this a lot to outline the form while still giving it momentum. If they landed actually on beat one all the time it would kill the forward motion. It's a good way to interface with any drummer you're playing with if you accent those sorts of things at key points in the form. Shows that your listening and you're not just blasting continuously without regard to the form.
One thing Mark mentions is that he tries to get ideas as much as he can from the band, that way he's not playing what's under his fingers but pushing himself to play new ideas. It could be that Mark was thinking rhythmically for the line and decided to get the idea from Al.
from around 4:25 al plays that figure quite a few times so maybe mark was going back to that and they just happened to catch it at the same time. magic either way
I'm so glad that Peter Bernstein plays the guitar. So lyrical, hip, and deliberate.
Al Foster, smiling and keeping the time for decades! One of Miles' favourite drummers, that says it all!
I was here!!!!!! Incredible!

@@PhilipLupercal thanks for the message and considerations. To me it makes sense as well.

What's the name of this tune again?
As it says in title “stablemates” by benny golson
"my ass"
Mark turner shaking his head and saying “no” to Bernstein @ 1:40. Yikes!
I think that indicates that he's digging it and grooving with what Peter is playing
He said "uh" and is grooving along.. obviously he's into his playing
Yeah he said “Oh” dawg cmon now, it’s Bernstein lol
band do nice short solos... drummer fucks it as usual and does about 50 chorus' lol
Al's solo was too short! Wish it was longer
