Extra Special Edition

1995 studio album by Jack DeJohnette

Extra Special is an album by drummer Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, featuring saxophonist Gary Thomas, pianist Michael Cain and bassist Lonnie Plaxico, with vocalist Bobby McFerrin, percussionist Paul Grassi and guitarist Marvin Sewell also appearing. Recorded in 1994 and released on the Blue Note label in 1995.[2] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states, "the mostly-original program not only lacks more than one or two strong melodies but any real development as well, particularly on the selections that have McFerrin. Performances often start in what could just as well be the middle and end inconclusively with many of the pieces being little more than funky riffs for the rhythm section".[3]
