The Way Through (2004)

"McCaslin's originals are usually based on accessible and yet complex melodies full of atmosphere. "Break Tune" is an off-kilter and intriguing ballad that also offers a sample of the leader's soprano playing, while "What Remains" looks for new ways to incorporate dissonance. The album also hints at things to come, most notably through an acknowledged interest in world music -- "San Lorenzo," which showcases singer Luciana Souza, relies heavily on Brazilian influences. In a nutshell, this brilliant session is a clear evidence of McCaslin's all-around talents". (Alain Drouot, Allmusic).
