A singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer who can transport a listener through seemingly limitless influences
Dean's Latest Vocal/instrumental
"All the Good Men Are Taken"
DC's latest tune is a near apocalyptic vision of the current romance landscape. It has many questions and great, focused playing. Conjuring a dark, Steely Dan-like atmosphere, it is aural food for thought. Eric Brodin brings saxophones, Bill Degillio guitar and keys.
It is now available at all online retailers including Spotify at:https://open.spotify.com/album/2HK5kRBPJPbtFixp1uSxTk?si=iDgCtskdRlyV0aISWsGjXA&dl_branch=1,

Dean's Latest Instrumental Re-Mix
Brisa Primaverál (Orchestral Mix)
This is the release which builds on the original "Easy Listening" version of a couple years ago. Penned by Jeffrey Michael Brown and arranged by DC Hall and Richard Dennis, this features Dean on lead trumpet, Richard on 2nd and the great Bill Degillio on keys, guitar and programming.
It is now available at all online retailers including Spotify at:https://open.spotify.com/album/4zJMqCUFkiCM7bWB0YRnG7?si=0Y_llmm-Qpmb9ZVlmVrt_g
"Caldwell's Breakdown" (Fast in the BopGrass)
This “BopGrass” breakdown marks a close to 40 year recall of the opening lick which kicks off the tune. "Tho’ I wrote it, I realized I didn’t play any bluegrass instruments. That is all left to the masterful Bill Degillio, playing keys, guitar and programming. He also did the engineering. I play the Baritone/Tuba part (figured I had to do something) plus a spit of percussion and mouth music. It’s dedicated to the legendary Dick Caldwell, my first bandleader, eventual manager and dear, dear friend (AND his '68 Cadillac, which was always "breaking down"). May we all have a happier new year!"

"Bleep the Corona" (Un-Bleeped)
"This odd metered reggae tune marks a first dip into the world of the "explicit" for me. Just one word, but I was so fed up with all the politization of the Corona/Covid thing that I had to express a certain amount of frustration. A fun romp."
