Donny McCaslin: In Pursuit
by John Kelman
In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed Soar (Sunnyside, 2006), saxophonist Donny McCaslin continues to evolve his interest in blending advanced jazz harmony and improvisation with world music in general, and the rhythms of Latin and South America in particular. But while Soar's core quintet expanded to a nine-piece at times, here it remains intact, with ...

01. Edward Simon - Simplicitas (Criss Cross - 2005). Edward è uno dei miei musicisti preferiti. Il contrappunto nella sua scrittura è una vera fonte d’ispirazione. “Fiestas“ e “Unknown Path“ sono i miei brani preferiti. 02. Idil Biret - Stravinskj: The Firebird (Piano Transcription) (Naxos - 2003). Uno studente del mio corso mi disse che stava ...

Donny McCaslin: Give & Go
by Tom Greenland
Proust, Faulkner and Joyce: all wrote in protracted sentences that challenge the reader's mettle. Donny McCaslin is one such improviser, creating melodic lines that seem to stretch out and out and out, yet, through rigorous internal logic, never lose the thread of the narrative nor rankle the listener with overblown verbosity. Give and ...
Donny McCaslin: Close to the Spirit
by Paul Olson
California-born, New York-based saxophonist Donny McCaslin has become an overnight sensation. Except that he's not--he's been playing tenor (as well as other reeds and flute) with all sorts of heavyweights for years, including Gary Burton, Mike Manieri's Steps Ahead, Brian Blade and Danilo Pérez. McCaslin was a co-founder of the collaborative band Lan Xang; ...
Donny McCaslin: Give and Go
by John Kelman
If there's one label that's committed to defining the new mainstream, it's Criss Cross Jazz. Earlier recordings on Gerry Teekens' label weighed more heavily towards the standards repertoire, but recent releases by artists like guitarist Adam Rogers, trumpeter Alex Sipiagin and pianist Edward Simon have applied a more contemporary spin on acoustic jazz through a greater ...
Donny McCaslin: Soar
by Paul Olson
Tenor player Donny McCaslin aims high on Soar and rather gloriously hits all his targets with this ambitious set of pieces of a decidedly Central and South American bent. McCaslin's other “new" record, Give and Go (Criss Cross), was released in February. The two CDs couldn't be more different, though--while Give and Go ...
