Donny McCaslin

A graduate of the Berklee School of Music, Donny McCaslin has had a saxophone in his hands from his earliest years and has integrated the entire range of sounds that a tenor sax can produce into his repertoire: from mainstream modern to funky fusion to laid-back balmy ballads, all flavored with his own experimental style. While best recognized by the music-loving public for his contributions to “Blackstar”, David Bowie’s final studio album in 2016, McCaslin’s interrogatory approach to jazz as a popular American music is myriad. Donny has played with Gary Burton, Steps Ahead, the Gil Evans Orchestra, George Gruntz, Danilo Perez, Maria Schneider and many more. Donny has a genre-melding approach to music and brings together angular avant jazz, funk, ambient soundscapes, and exotica.
