APPLAUSE
  • Dean is fast, decisive, masterful behind the console, and has brilliant ideas. He gave my record 3 Balloons a shape and sound that I simply could not have, and I am a genius.
    Stephen Lynch
    Recording Artist
  • Dean made the Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson album everything we were hoping for. It has the polish and punch of the studio, yet retains all the energy and immediacy of the live show.
    Michael Friedman
    Composer
  • Whether producing my records or contracting my shows, Dean is sensitive, focussed, and in command. For Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, he put together one of the finest orchestras I have ever heard.
    David Yazbek
    Composer
  • I like Dean. He smells good. He is not bad looking. But most importantly, I really like working with him. He is a conscientious and detail-oriented collaborator. He rocks, rolls, listens, and is deeply dedicated to the work. Oh, and he is funny too.
    Kurt Deutsch
    President
    Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records
  • As Music Coordinator for LCT’s productions, Dean gracefully balances everyone’s needs, from the composer and music department to the theater crew and administrative staff. He is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.
    Ira Weitzman
    Associate Producer
    Lincoln Center Theater
  • Dean is a total pro. Working with him I am always confident that the artistic needs of the production are being met 110% without ever sacrificing the bottom line. On top of that, he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
    Aaron Lustbader
    General Manager
    Alan Wasser Associates
  • Dean hires some of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. They enjoy their jobs, feel well taken care of, and give 100% all the time. His impressive organizational skills and attention to detail are matched only by his kindness and effortless leadership. Dean is also an exceptional musician and a wonderful colleague.
    Bartlett Sher
    Director
  • Thanks to Dean’s fine work, Women On The Verge was one of the smoothest running and best sounding shows I've done.
    James Abbott
    Music Director, Arranger
  • Not only did Dean hire a first-rate ensemble of truly fine players, they were also great to get on with, making my work an absolute pleasure. As a music producer, Dean also brings world class expertise and focus to the often perfunctory enterprise of cast recordings. I really hope we can work together again.
