NJPAC To Host Virtual Evening with Maria Schneider & Donny McCaslin

NJPAC and Jazz Standard present an online evening with multiple GRAMMY Award winning jazz composer and bandleader Maria Schneider on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m. EST. The event is free on Facebook.

She'll discuss and share tracks from her 2020 double-LP release Data Lords, a "powerful new album" that "protests big tech's invasion of our lives" (The Guardian). Maria will be joined by jazz saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who has been a mainstay in Maria's orchestra and who defined the visionary fusion of David Bowie's final studio recording, Blackstar.

"[Data Lords is] the most daring work of Schneider's career, which sets the bar imposingly high. This is music of extravagant mastery, and it comes imbued with a spirit of risk..." -NPR

"I've never had more fun writing music. I threw caution to the wind on this album and it felt really good." -Maria Schneider
