Title Note

Personnel: Pete McCann (acoustic & electric guitars); Peter Epstein (soprano & alto saxophones); Bruce Huron (tenor saxophone); Tim Lefebvre (acoustic & electric basses); Matt Wilson (drums, percussion).

Includes liner notes by Bill Milkowski.

Pete McCann is one of the few contemporary guitarists that follows his own musical path. While his sound certainly borrows from such influences as Metheny, Frisell and Scofield, his synthesis of these elements makes all the difference. His unique musicality, unbridled enthusiasm and inventive soloing are presented expertly on PARABLE, his first disc as a leader. His electrified pallet and knack for expressive phrasing gives this music a compelling shape and texture all its own.

The quirky swinger "Grimlock" kicks off the set with plenty of swagger and searing performances by McCann and saxophonist Peter Epstein. To get a sense of McCann's personality, check out how the dynamic title track subtly builds from gentle beginnings to its final eruption into the guitarist's Van Halen-like solo. Drummer Matt Wilson's inventive use of percussion lends colorful shadings to tracks like the mysterious "Open Gate" and the very free-form "Hoevenen." Many other styles saturate McCann's perspective like the unmistakable country of "Hoedown" and "Sheriff Bob" and the raucous slam-fest known as "Victim Sweepstakes." In all, this is a refreshing and inventive set by one of the most creative young artists on the modern scene.
