Extra Special is an album by Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, featuring Gary Thomas, Michael Cain, and Lonnie Plaxico with guest musicians Bobby McFerrin, Paul Grassi and Marvin Sewell, recorded in 1994 and released on the Blue Note label in 1995. 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".
