Jazz Series Concert Features Saxophonist Donny McCaslin Posted on: February 15th, 2011 by Rick Peterson Critically acclaimed saxophonist and composer Donny McCaslin showcases his “roof-raising” talents Friday, February 25 at 8 p.m. at the Lawrence Memorial Chapel as part of the 2010-11 Lawrence University Jazz Series. McCaslin will be joined by the Lawrence Brass. Donny McCaslin “Donny McCaslin definitely belongs in any discussion of top jazz saxophonists like Chris Potter and others,” said tubist Marty Erickson, a member of the Lawrence Brass. “He is very comfortable playing hard funk and a kind of high-energy post- bebop, but he also can render a ballad with the best of them.” One of the pieces The Lawrence Brass will perform with McCaslin will be from his 2009 CD “Declarations,” which was ranked 12th on a list of favorite jazz CDs of 2009 by the website The Jazz Spectrum. Described by Jazz Times as a “versatile” musician who plays with a “fluidity and grace,” McCaslin first picked up the tenor saxophone at the age of 12 and!participated in the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival’s California All-Star band while still in high school. After attending the Berklee College of Music, McCaslin toured with The Gary Burton Quintet for four years. Based in New York since 1991, McCaslin has turned heads with his solo work in ensembles such as the Maria Schneider Orchestra and the Ken Schaphorst Big Band. He earned a 2004 Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo for his work on the album “Concert in the Garden.” McCaslin’s Feb. 25 concert will mark a return to Appleton. He previously performed as principal soloist on former Lawrence jazz studies director Ken Schaphorst’s composition “Uprising,” a big- band work that has its world premiere performed in the spring of 1996 by the Lawrence University Jazz Ensemble. The piece was later released on Schaphorst’s CD “Purple,” with McCaslin’s work winning rave reviews from the jazz media. His discography features eight recordings as a leader, including the horn-infused “Declarations,” as well as many important sideman credits with the likes of fellow saxophonist David Binney, drummers Johnathan Blake and Antonio Sanchez and bassist Scott Colley. .

Doctorella-Faz
SEITE 12 · MONTAG, 14. NOVEMBER 2016 · NR. 266 Musik FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG Auch das noch Brillant, frisch, mit einem Schuss Lachen Als der Produzent Walter Legge 1946 in Wien für seine Firma „His Master’s Voice“ vielversprechende Künstler such- te, fand er eine junge Sängerin, die nach kurzer Zeit nicht nur seine Ehefrau, son- dern auch „Her Master’s Voice“ wurde: Eli- sabeth Schwarzkopf. Sie gab am 23. Ok- tober 1946 im Brahmssaal des Wiener Mu- sikvereins ihr Platten-Debüt: mit der Mar- tern-Arie der Konstanze aus Mozarts „Entführung“. Am Pult stand ein zweiter Star in spe: Herbert von Karajan. Es war die erste von knapp einhundert 78er Plat- ten aus der Zeit vor der Langspielplatte, die jetzt, erstmals vollständig veröffent- licht, die Begegnung mit einer Stimme er- möglichen, deren Klang Legge als ,,brilli- ant, fresh and shot with laughter“ be- schrieb (The Complete 78 RPM Recor- dings 1946–1952, Warner). Wie die bra- vourös gesungene Martern-Arie sind auch die Aufnahmen von Bachs „Jauchzet Gott“ (mit einem stupenden Trompeten- solo), Händels ,,L’allegro, il pensiero“ (ei- nem ebenso stupenden Flötensolo), Mo- zarts „L’amerò, sarò costante“ (mit einer sublimen Kadenz) Zeugnisse feinster Bel- canto-Kunst. Der Zauber ihrer mit vielen Farben malenden Stimme verdoppelt sich im Zusammenklang mit dem Samtsopran von Irmgard Seefried im Abendsegen aus „Hänsel und Gretel“. In den Liedern – Dowland, Arne, Schubert, Schumann, Der Witz am Blitz ist das Licht im Gesicht: Sandra (links) und Kerstin Grether von Doctorella wissen ganz genau, wie Hingucken aussieht. Foto Bohemian Strawberry Brahms, Wolf und Nikolai Medtner – ist die Empfindungstiefe der Jugend zu spü- ren und nichts von den Detailaffektatio- nen der ,reifen‘ Diva.

Whatever sounds need to be made, will happen, the low-ceilinged ex-speakeasy on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village and the energy can go from unbelievably soft to completely nuts, from where, when not on the road, the alto saxophonist-composer has performed swinging to whatever.
