S5 Ep5: Gail Ann Dorsey on Young Americans (Part Two)

All Episodes

March 3, 2025 • 33 mins

We continue our chat with Gail Ann Dorsey as she explains the seismic impact Young Americans made on her - and hear a snippet of her breathtaking version of 'Can You Hear Me?' - and reflect on friends and collaborators from Bowie universe, past and present – from Carlos Alomar, Mike Garson and David Sanborn to her current project with Donny McCaslin, the mighty orchestral Blackstar Symphony. And of course, along the way, we come back time and again to that one omniscient figure, who brought them all together.

Gail and the Blackstar Symphony play Nashville on June 18, 2025 and San Francisco on June 26th - see more via Donny McCaslin's page here

Keep up with Gail's music and appearances via her Instagram and Spotify - and keep an ear out for new music soon!

Many thanks to Leah Kardos for the original music for this episode
