jazz & blues reviews...
"With a vocal style somewhere between Michael Franks and Tom Waits and a band that plays jazz like you read about, Dean Krippaehne is the captain of a tight musical ship. Today, popular jazz does
not always accept traditional jazz-style vocalists into its world of acid and groove, but it is difficult to deny this talented artist anything. He is fantastic."
"Witty and literate lyrics coupled with bluesy jazz. This Seattle songwriter has a pleasant voice and impeccable phrasing. Guaranteed even to make your sourpuss Aunt Agnes smile".
"Dean Krippaehne offers no-nonsense swing and slow blue treatments of several classics"
"This is really cool. The lyrics are well thought out - [Dean] has a knack for turning a phrase.
- the performance - is excellent. If you've ever been a fan of Michael Franks, Dr. John or Randy Newman, you should definitely download this"
"Dean Krippaehne is no doubt a master at his work. This jazz jam [dig that crazy sound] will curl your toes. It's a killer jam and just a ton of fun to play along with. Dig on it man! "
"Deep, soulful, honest, bare, no, THREADBARE... essential... the rain pours down... the lonely man walks the street..."
Blues and cool-jazz vocalist Dean Krippaehne has been working his groove since the 1980s, his smooth baritone a captivating topping to the organic arrangements that build, shift, and swing underneath. His laid-back holiday songs are a refreshing change of pace from standard shopping-mall fare and make for fine listening all year round."
"Its atmosphere really reminds me of New York in a not so quiet afternoon, taxis, police cars and fat bus drivers, the tension of a working day, the peace of a Friday evening, a drink at 6pm."
"Dean is one those rare musicians that really does have it all...Songwriting and lyrical skills to blow your mind and one of the smoothest most expressive voices it has ever been my pleasure to listen to."
"If your feet aren't atappin' and your fingers aren't snappin'... you better check your pulse".
"Funky-Smooth - Jay Thomas is great on trumpet, Darren Motamedy is an excellent saxman, remarkable John Raymond on guitar. The whole group is very professional and this [D'Funked] is definitely one of their best tracks. A runner."
" The Light is up there with the very best of its genre. A warm and sultry vibe takes precedence thanks to a gentle, driving beat, Spanish licks, keyboard interjections and a salacious trumpet solo. The vocals and harmonies are nothing short of outstanding, having a similar feel to those of Omar/Seal. This should be an enormous hit."
"I'm sure he sings with a smile. A sincere and honest one. He faces the people who listen not as silent as they should. His music fills an intense atmosphere of accurate words and simple (not plain) music. Listen with one small light on, a scotch and yourlady close by...
