This is the latest review from Smooth Jazz Radio for the new cd ECLECTIC.
We are quite taken by Dean’s music here at SmoothLounge.com… a cool, sophisticated soundscape of ambient music laced with electro/acoustic soul and a fusion of jazz and rock with Afro Latin rhythms. This dreamy new release from the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter is deep and rich with texture and vocals. Featured on drums, bass, guitar and vocals, ECLECTIC showcases the artist’s ability to blend a wide range of musical genres into an eclectic, yet congruent collection of tunes. Ten tracks in all, Dean’s ECLECTIC is a lesson in borders, he says, “boundaries, as in life, are our own imaginations… if you enjoy music that seeks to step outside the box, yet still an enjoyable listen… then this is your sound.” Couldn’t agree more. Favorite tracks include “Roundabout,” “Times Places Faces,” “Love Is A Heartbeat” and “Albino Magic.” Check out ECLECTIC today and download or buy the entire project for chillin’. ~SANDY SHORE

fade away
In this life we make for ourselves, it seems our identity is the
first casualty.
As a man thirsting
surrouned by waters of oceans blue,
so we drown in a sea of faces.
Fade to the backgound,
motions blured, out of focus.
Frozen images of dreams forgotten.
All sense of self lost in the wave of time,
the… Continue

a face of yesterday
in rememberence of times

a light still bright

without dreams possobility
