Donny McCaslin, band leader for David Bowie, unleashes progressive jazz-rock hybrid with his quartet at BlueShore at CapU on September 24 at 7:30 pm.

While McCaslin is best known as the saxophonist and band director for David Bowie’s revered final album Blackstar, the noted composer has released a dozen albums over his genre-defying, three-time Grammy-nominated career.

McCaslin’s most recent album, I Want More, is a visionary hybrid of jazz-rooted music with a rock edge. The album was produced by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips), which marked his first foray into working with jazz music.

New York’s JazzTrail calls I Want More “wildly original… a spectacular funkified exercise,” comparing one track to the “glitch-hop vibe of Flying Lotus and the dub incursions of Jah Wobble and The Orb,” and another to a “rich stew of progressive jungle-leaning EDM, funky breaks, and anthemic punk-rock.”

Tickets for the upcoming performance are available here.
