24th October 2015: Pete McCann announces dates for his US ‘Range’ CD release celebration tour feat: John O’Gallagher, Henry Hey, Matt Clohesy and Mark Ferber.

New York-based guitarist Pete McCann has announced a series of US dates in support of the recent release of his fifth solo album Range.

Longstanding personnel of choice – John O’Gallagher (sax), Henry Hey (keys), Matt Clohesy (basses) and Mark Ferber (drums) will also be featuring on the tour.

The ebullient grooves and staggering improvisational proficiency contained within McCann’s peppy output point to a lifelong appreciation of guitar luminaries such as Wes Montgomery, Bill Frisell and John Scofield – yet he also reveals a no-holes-barred enthusiasm for the heavier, solid-body jazz/rock influence of Mike Stern, Allan Holdsworth and especially John McLaughlin (Pete was guitarist in convincing US tribute band The Mahavishnu Project, endorsed by the great man). Here, with his four trusted colleagues, McCann produces a compelling, immaculately-produced programme that radiates a passion for today’s thriving, progressive jazz scene.
