Mary Anne Hobbs talks to Donny McCaslin, the man who helped make David Bowie's final album Blackstar.

Donny McCaslin is the 11 times Grammy nominated sax player, whose band David Bowie chose to collaborate with on his swansong album 鈥楤lackstar鈥� - , the record that his producer Tony Visconti said was David鈥檚 parting gift to the world

We'll hear about improvising in the studio, Bowie鈥檚 love of jazz and how Donny's musical career was inspired by afternoons with his father and a saxophone full of condensation and cigarette butts.
