about
Trenched in free-flowing arrangements with dynamic interplay between the band, this work harkens back to the classic trio recordings of Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson. And while a classic format, McCaslin retains his modernity and inventiveness citing Bill Frisell, Hermeto Pascal, Stravinsky and Messiaen as inspiration for these compositions. Stand-out tracks include burners “Recommended Tools,” “Excursion,” “The Champion,” and ballad, “Late Night Gospel.”
Sheet music is available for eight McCaslin originals on this album. Download the lead sheets as PDFs here: bit.ly/SM_RecommendedTools

about
Donny McCaslin New York, New York
As the bandleader on David Bowie's final album Blackstar, saxophonist Donny McCaslin collaborated with the Starman to carry forward his penchant for reinvention. With his upcoming studio album 'Blow.' — a daring fusion of vibrant electronica, and bombastic art-rock due this fall — McCaslin applied that mindset to his own work, pushing his music in a bold new direction. ... more

Brazen Heart Live at Jazz Standard - Complete
by Dave Douglas Quintet 2015supported by 356 fans who also own “Recommended Tools”
Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while!

Time Travel
by Dave Douglas Quintetsupported by 335 fans who also own “Recommended Tools”
This album feels as if it could have been released in the late 50's, except for it's thoroughly modern approach. It's first class musicians working with first class material. It's been a consistent 'go-to' album since I purchased it.
