Donny Mccaslin Group at Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts

About

Powerhouse saxophonist Donny McCaslin pairs his trademark hard-charging sound with lurching dub rhythms, swirling electronica-inspired atmospheres, funk-inflected electrified elements and arena-rock power. McCaslin, who has worked with luminaries like Gary Burton and Dave Douglas, fuses a wealth of cutting-edge influences into a single visionary voice. From angular tunes to lyrical ballads he continues his exploration of all facets of modern jazz sounds. His latest release Casting for Gravity follows on the heels of 2011’s highly acclaimed Perpetual Motion.
