Guitarist Pete McCann to release “Extra Mile”

New York guitarist and composer Pete McCann will release his fourth solo album “Extra Mile” on Nineteen-Eight Records.
McCann is joined by alto saxophonist John O’Gallagher and Henry Hey on keyboards, as well as his long-time collaborators bassist Matt Clohesy and drummer Mark Ferber. These ten originals demonstrate McCann’s deep roots in jazz while allowing him to branch off into the diverse sound-worlds he’s loved since his youth.
McCann, a native of Eau Claire, Wis., has worked with artists as diverse as Kenny Wheeler, Dave Liebman, Lee Konitz, Kenny Garrett, Peter Erskine, Gary Thomas, Greg Osby, Brian Blade, and the Maria Schneider Orchestra.
