Donny McCaslin Group

With the October 2 release of Casting for Gravity, his tenth album as a leader, acclaimed saxophonist Donny McCaslin found an ideal setting for his cavernous saxophone sound in the fe­rocious grooves and electronic textures of keyboardist Jason Lindner, bassist Tim Lefebvre, and drummer Mark Guiliana. Couching his trademark gift for brawny melodies in lurching dub rhythms, swirling electronica–inspired atmospheres, and arena–rock power, McCaslin has crafted a game-changer of an album, fusing a wealth of forward–looking influences into one wholly new modern jazz sound. Casting for Gravity, says Huffington Post, is “a courageous, powerful musical statement [that] may prove to be an important portal for expanding the shrinking jazz audience.”
