Beyond Now by Donny McCaslin! Out now!

Deeply influenced by the extraordinary experience of collaborating with David Bowie on his final release, ‘Blackstar’, Donny McCaslin steps forward with ‘Beyond Now’. Recorded a few months after Bowie’s passing, it is a heartfelt dedication to the Starman. Alongside Bowie’s ‘Last Band’ (Jason Lindner, Mark Guiliana, Tim Lefebvre and McCaslin himself), Donny reimagines two Bowie songs, tracks by Deadmau5 and MUTEMATH, plus powerful originals, displaying the rich musicality and innovation that originally led to him working with one of the most creative artists of all time.

“It was like a dream except it was something I never could have dreamed of,” reflects McCaslin on working with Bowie. “David Bowie was a visionary artist whose generosity, creative spirit and fearlessness will stay with me the rest of my days. ‘Beyond Now’ is dedicated to him and to all who loved him.”

Comprised of core ‘Blackstar’ personnel, bassist Tim Lefebvre (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Saturday Night Live), drummer Mark Guiliana (Me’shell Ndegeocello, Brad Mehldau) and Jason Lindner (Now Vs Now), along with guitarist Nate Wood and producer David Binney, ‘Beyond Now’ is comprised of two Bowie songs, covers of Deadmau5 and MUTEMATH as well as compelling McCaslin originals that include the title composition, inspired by a track inspired by a song McCaslin recorded for ‘Blackstar’ that didn’t make the album.
