It's not surprising that saxophonist Donny McCaslin, having played with the likes of Maria Schneider and Dave Douglas, brings some distilled emotion to his own work. "Late Night Gospel" presents a slow-burning blues lament that glows brighter with each chorus. Credit must be given to bassist Glawischnig and drummer Blake, who don't squander opportunities to leverage the growing mood. As the track reaches its peak, McCaslin leans into some quite angular lines, but never resorts to flash for its own sake.
