notes
After many years of honing his craft and teaching others, Jesse Foster has finally released the musical offering that those of us that know him have been waiting for.
Born in Bessimer, Alabama and raised in Cleveland Ohio, Jesse recognized his musical calling at an early age and pursued his own natural course of study, by receiving formal training and absorbing influences from other great artists.
He is a singer, songwriter and percussionist extraordinare, with an original composition and arranging style, which conveys deep and personal messages through songs crossing a wide range of musical genres.
Although Jesse has worked with and been influenced by many renowned artists,he credits the body of works by master artists like Wes Montgomery,Marvin Gaye,John Coltrane,Smokey Robinson,David Ruffin,Nat"King"Cole and Miles Davis, for having a profound impact on his concepts,musical direction and career.
In the seventies Jesses travels brought him to San Francisco where for over thirty years now, his writing performing and teaching has received international acclaim and earned him a special place amongst the unsung heroes of the music scene.
Jesse views life as a series of segways, living moment to moment and song to song, never knowing what will happen, but possessing relentless drive and undying faith in his mission.

Emotional Rollercoaster
author: Julian ClarkSit back and relax, this CD delivers to you an emotional tour of Jesse Foster's soul. My personal favorite tracks - Song for Marvin and How are You - truly capture the feeling of the live performance. This is music to lose yourself in.
A celebration of his journey through life.
author: Brian HarveySinger, songwriter and percussionist Jesse Foster has chosen to make this - his first album - a celebration of his journey through life - in other words this is an unusual CD in that it is autobiographical. Foster is a soul-based singer with a pleasing voice and the songs he's created here are easy on the ear if not memorable.
