251

Seattle-based bassist Dan Dean is no stranger to Keyboard magazine: His sample libraries have won 3 Key Buy awards and he's played with piano heroes like Dave Grusin, Bill Mays, Joey deFrancesco and scores more. On "251" (think jazz changes) Dan invited four stellar piano buddies into the studio for a fantastic romp through ten standards and a George Duke original that will teach you how to play ballads, swing and funk duets with a bassist. Whether you play B-3 (like Larry Goldings on "Georgia") accordion (like Gil Goldstein on "Lover Man") funk piano (like George Duke on "It's On") or straight ahead jazz (Kenny Werner on "Dolphin Dance") this uplifting album opens new doors to a classic collaboration.
