—The New York Observer
Saxophonist Donny McCaslin, whose sonorous sax has laced the stage and studio with some of today’s brightest stars, has achieved wide praise for the incisive twists and purposeful turns of his emotionally charged solos. Those qualities, along with his distinctive voice as a composer, have actually been on display for much of the previous decade, during which McCaslin recorded seven albums as a leader, collaborating with a wide range of musicians, including David Binney, Johnathan Blake, Scott Colley, Ben Monder, Antonio Sanchez and Edward Simon. McCaslin really began turning heads with his solo work in larger ensembles, first with Ken Schaphorst’s Big Band, and subsequently with the acclaimed Maria Schneider Orchestra, where his performance on the album “Concert In The Garden” garnered McCaslin a Grammy© nomination in 2004 for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
