Donny McCaslin

Surreal Art-Rock By Saxophonist Donny McCaslin (Archives)

Soundcheck | Jan 7, 2021

Sax player and bandleader Donny McCaslin, who collaborated with David Bowie on Blackstar, freely mixes pop, jazz, electronica, and art-rock on his striking 2018 album, Blow., which sees the band moving into sonic terrain that shows even more of Bowie’s impact. It’s some daring sax-led badassery - a blast of concentrated, powerful, and wonderful pop that rocks, with jazz tendencies - with lyrics and guest vocalists. He and his band play some of the tunes in-studio. (From the Archives) - Caryn Havlik
