Donny McCaslin was featured in The Washington Post, discussing his experience working with David Bowie, as well as his new album Beyond Now.
“[Beyond Now], released in October, plays as both an extension of Blackstar, which won five Grammys last month, and an homage. McCaslin’s originals — like “Shake Loose,” “Glory” and the title track — pick up where Blackstar left off, with McCaslin’s shrieking sax leading hard-charging, often obtuse compositions that blur the line between jazz, rock and electronica.” – Rudi Greenberg, The Washington Post
