Following the success of Seen From Above (2000), on Arabesque Jazz, The Way Through is the latest album from jazz virtuoso, Donny McCaslin.   David Adler of AMG declares Mr. McCaslin, "a versatile tenor saxophonist, who . . . as a leader exhibits steady growth and imagination in abundance."   The Way Through presents Mr. McCaslin in full force, using the element of jazz trio as his stylistic back bone.   With original compositions and straight ahead jazz standards, the album melds postmodern mainstream to balmy ballads, funky fusion and edgy experiments, with the talents of David Binney, Andres Bostrom, Scott Colley, Adam Cruz, Ben Monder, Luciana Souza, and Doug Yates.
