QUOTES ABOUT "2-5-1":

Tom "Bones" Malone, Blues Brothers & Letterman Show Trombonist:
Put this album on the same playlist with Bill Evans. Intimate, virtuoso performances by several contemporary greats playing familiar standards like you have never heard them before. - Tom "Bones" Malone

Multi Grammy winning producer, songwriter, session guitarist Jay Graydon:
There are many good bassists and just a few virtuosos. Dan falls into the category of the few virtuoso's! Dig, when playing the groove, he swings his ass off with fresh inventive lines while still noting the root as needed! As to soloing, extremely inventive 'ear candy' playing lines that seem to be impossible as the restrictions of the bass fingerings! How about the keyboard players on this CD! The best of the best! This CD is as good as it gets for a keyboard and bass duo! – Jay Graydon

Percussionist Extraordinaire Emil Richards:
Dan Dean's new CD "2 5 1" is HAPPENING!!! All the Bass players in L A are excited about this wonderful musician, and his great playing. If you haven't yet heard Dan's new CD or his playing, check this one out. You are in for a real treat! Of all the great bass players of the world that I have worked with, from Ray Brown to Abe Laboriel, Dan Dean rates up there with the best! - Emil Richards
