Scott Foster - Basement Sinfonietta (2021)

Back in March 2020, as San Franciscans first took cover in their individual homes, those that had homes!, guitarist Scott Foster began to compose a tune a day for a good long stretch. Scott presented a generous number of those tunes in a solo live stream from Bird & Beckett on August 21, 2020, five months into the pandemic. You can hear that concert by clicking here.

Along the way, as the pandemic wore on, Scott enlisted three colleagues — Larry De La Cruz, saxophone; Andrew Higgins, bass; Russ Gold, drums — to work with him to bring the compositions to life, developing and recording an album’s worth of material over time and distance with his colleagues. Now, that album is ready for release.
