“Donny McCaslin embodies a generational shift in jazz.” – The Georgia Straight

It’s widely agreed that a fitting collaboration transpired when saxophonist Donny McCaslin (previously of Steps Ahead, Mingus Band and The Maria Schneider Orchestra) and his band were chosen to back David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar (or ★). McCaslin, like Bowie, is a stylistic chameleon, fearlessly blurring genres and boundaries. With three Grammy® nominations and 12 albums to his name, McCaslin’s own star continues to rise as the bandleader of an “extraordinary group playing extraordinary music.” [NPR]
