Es geschieht selten, dass Jazzmusiker Rockgeschichte schreiben. Das Jazz-Quartett um den Tenorsaxophonisten Donny McCaslin aber – Jason Lindner an den Keyboards, Tim Lefebvre am Bass, Mark Guiliana am Schlagzeug – prägte maßgeblich den Sound von David Bowies Abschiedswerk „Blackstar“. In (fast) gleicher Besetzung beehrt das elektro-akustische Quartett das P&B. Sie erschaffen Klanglandschaften aus komplexen Strukturen und freien Improvisationen. (Pressetext)
„This new album is an expression of that journey for all of us. David allowed Blackstar to be what it was going to be regardless of how people might have categorized it. More than anything, it was his fearlessness in crossing musical boundaries and genres in his music and life that inspired the risks I’m taking in Beyond Now. I am indebted to Bowie for showing me the risks and rewards of going for your uncompromising musical vision.“ (Donny McCaslin)
