		Frank Rowbotham Foster (born January 31, 1889, Birmingham, England; died May 3, 1958, Northampton, England) was a Warwickshire and England all-rounder whose career was tragically cut short by an accident during World War I.
		For the whole season, Foster headed both batting and bowling averages for his county, and it was no surprise when he went to Australia for the 1911/1912 Ashes tour.
		In the last match, against Surrey, the County Champions, Foster made 81 in the unfamiliar role of opener on a difficult pitch, and took nine for 72 (of which eight were clean bowled).

	Mapleshade Records - Frank Foster's Loud Minority Big Band
		In Frank’s words, “This is something quite different…I’m not trying to revolutionize the big band, I’m just telling it the way I hear it with thirteen horns and a rhythm section.” After leading the Basie band for a decade, in ’95 Foster put down the baton to form his band—the Loud Minority.

		Foster’s other guest, trumpeter Jon Faddis, shakes the rafters on “Wild Women” and “Cecilia,” and trumpeters Jeremy Pelt and Cecil Bridgewater glisten and glow on “Stella” and “Stockings,” respectively.

	George Gee Big Band: Settin' the Pace - the Music of Frank Foster - PopMatters Music Review
		There are two members of the touring (ghost) Count Basie band in this ensemble, of which Frank Foster became leader after a long career, playing in and writing music for the ensemble(s) Basie reconvened from the 1950s on.
		There are some nice compositions of Foster's like "Settin' the Pace", on which Howard Johnson has his blow, and Eddie Bert participates in a three-trombone rumble-up with the slightly lesser known Charles Stephens and Jack Jeffers.
		And, certainly for the charts of his own compositions, and his direction of the band (which have some of his charts in their regular book), this is a nice addition to Frank Foster's discography.
