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.

    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.
