Frank Foster - The Loud Minority

Frank Foster’s The Loud Minority is a landmark 1972 jazz-funk protest record originally issued on Bob Shad’s Mainstream Records.

The session brings together an exceptional cast including Elvin Jones, Stanley Clarke, Airto, Cecil Bridgewater, Marvin “Hannibal” Peterson and Dee Dee Bridgewater, whose early recorded performances are a major part of the album’s identity.
