Q&A: Saxophonist Donny McCaslin mixes punk, jazz and David Bowie Blackstar on I Want More
Summary by Ground News
Saxophonist Donny McCaslin gained international fame in 2016 following his work as band director on David Bowie's final recording Blackstar. The three-time Grammy nominee had a dozen albums to his credit before he ever blew a note for Bowie. His recordings since the Blackstar sessions, including 2023's newly released I Want More, are deeply informed by that experience. He pursues a punk-jazz hybrid that hits hard and explores some seriously space-rock realms.
