- Talks at Google hosted Donny McCaslin, a three-time GRAMMY® nominated saxophonist and composer. Featured on David Bowie‘s Blackstar, McCaslin & his band are known as “David Bowie’s last band”.
Donny’s new recording, Beyond Now, is greatly influenced by the time he spent with David Bowie during the recording of Blackstar, which debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart and further helped launch McCaslin onto the world stage. Beyond Now features new treatments of the classic Bowie songs “Warszawa” and “A Small Plot of Land”, as well as 5 new McCaslin compositions.
As one of the most sought after sidemen in the business, McCaslin is a current member of the GRAMMY® Award winning Maria Schneider Orchestra and has performed with many legendary musicians including Gary Burton, among others.
The talk was hosted by Matthew Hendershot.
Donny is such a fantastic soul, never mind phenomenal musician.
I love Donny's music and have all his albums plus all the ones where he's a sideman. He is the ultimate sideman, uplifting any date, including David Bowie's. Heard him once in Santa Cruz, his hometown, for a wonderful show.
whatta great guy
Black Star videos are fantastic watch them.
How cool Santa Cruz haha! He's a great player also yes!
Really fun to listen to Donny speak on his early years. I used to play guitar with the Paul Contos Group. Paul is one of the great sax players in Northern California and was a fantastic teacher for Donny. Donny has become a great, great player. Chris Potter and Donny are the two players that I can't get enough of these days. I'm now in Wyoming, near Jackson Hole and still playing all day. I could never live in New York City however, and prefer the country life even if I'm playing alone. But...David Bowie has never impressed as being much of a talent.
