Frank Foster's 1989 recording Shiny Stockings finds the legendary saxophonist and composer leading The Loud Minority through modal jazz settings that emphasize compositional sophistication and ensemble interaction. Foster's tenor work is assured and conversational, fitting naturally into arrangements that suggest both the cool jazz clarity of his early years and the fusion sensibilities of the contemporary moment. The rhythm section locks in thoughtfully, leaving space for Foster to explore his ideas without rushing. A recording that showcases why Foster's contributions to jazz arrangement and bandleading remain underappreciated.
