About
The 2022 return of Ronnie Foster to Blue Note Records is an event of synergistic quintessence, completeness, and cool. The organ great's dynamic album, 'Reboot', arrives upon the 50th anniversary of his 1972 Blue Note debut 'Two Headed Freap', which featured his memorable tune 'Mystic Brew' that would later reach the ears of hip-hop fans around the world when 'A Tribe Called Quest' sampled the track as the foundation of 'Electric Relaxation' on their 1994 album 'Midnight Marauders'. The nine-song Reboot marks a fresh start for Foster, who has whipped up an omnidirectional brew of Hammond Organ Groove that, yes, pays homage to the past but more often reflects Ronnie's restlessness for ushering in the new. Mightily hoisting the Blue Note organ torch, Foster gives thanks to the musical osmosis that was poured into him by all of the greats that preceded him.
