Donny Mccaslin Group at The National Concert Hall

About

Saxophonist Donny McCaslin and his band were David Bowie‘s Blackstar band; they play music from Beyond Now, a highly anticipated album dedicated to Bowie. The project is deeply influenced by their extraordinary experience collaborating with one of the greatest artists of all-time on his final album.

With three GRAMMY® nominations and 11 albums to his name, McCaslin’s path to Bowie and Beyond Now can be traced back to 2011 with the release of his album Perpetual Motion, taking on an electric direction for the first time, in contrast to his previous acoustic projects. Two subsequent albums Casting for Gravity (2012) and Fast Future (2015) released with his working band were directly influenced by electronica artists (covering groups such as Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Baths), which netted McCaslin a 2013 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Improvised Jazz Solo.
