Donny McCaslin's "Circling" ft. Rachel Eckroth
Turning, transforming, becoming things we don’t expect, merging worlds of indie-pop and jazz, Donny McCaslin takes us to another place on his latest single, Circling. Circling calls to mind McCaslin’s collaboration on Blackstar, David Bowie’s last album. Blackstar was created by David Bowie as a farewell of sorts, after having been made aware of his terminal illness. McCaslin’s Circling, was written in collaboration between McCaslin, Eren Cannata and singer Rachel Eckroth. Eckroth sings on the track. Eerie soundscapes, Eckroth’s voice and McCaslin’s saxophone playing establish a haunting sound world that is unfamiliar, yet accessible. The jazz lexicon is deftly woven into this dark and tuneful song.
Jazz lovers and David Bowie fans will be drawn to this track as well as any music lover who seeks to find new musical territory in the blurred space between genre, where original thought and creativity reign supreme.
