‘Live At Blues West 14’ is Mo Foster’s fourth solo album.
Foster reflects: “Musicians tend to loosen up in a club setting: away from the pressures of the studio or the concert platform they feel generally more relaxed, new ideas are tried, and they feel free to re-interpret old favourites.”
“Live At Blues West 14” is proof of how correct that statement is.
Most of the tracks on this album were recorded live in small clubs in the 90’s and the majority were recorded at Blues West 14, a small basement club in Kensington, London.
The outcome is a slew of classic jazz/fusion/rock performed by musicians at the height of their powers, including Ray Russell, Gary Husband, Frank Ricotti, Simon Chamberlain and Iain Bellamy.
Foster is an artist whose musical journey has taken him through jazz with Gil Evans, rock with Jeff Beck and Phil Collins, and blues/jazz/folk with Affinity, Joan Armatrading and Van Morrison.
Mo Foster continues to perform live with his band, ‘Friends’.
