Donny McCaslin that with its high-pressure virtuosity is one of the most important estate-managers of the heritage of Michael Brecker, which is already longer known. Now McCaslin has enriched his own quartet in the post-bop with electronica. At various keyboards handled Jason Lindner. Times its sounds are only refined decoration, then they provide the ultimate friction heat. The sonorous growl and hiss generated by his keyboards, one of the previously unheard of concoctions in the food stall in which combine acoustic and electro-synthetic sounds to new radiance.

The big dinosaur sounds that contributes Tim Lefebvre on his electric bass, are at least as important. His pumps and pulsation has something of Dub-intensities, the sound is enriched vigorously. McCaslin drummer Justin Brown acts over long distances as a highly complex programmed drum machine - but one with a human face, with small irregularities and human interactions, for which no computer is capable of. McCaslin loves "dub rhythms" and "ambient vibes", but is frustrated that electronic music is mostly free of melodic and harmonic development. Quite different works Casting For Gravity. Here in electronic terrain, the old values of jazz are upheld: improvisation and spontaneous interaction determine the data flow.
