Hailing from small-town Ohio, drummer Robin Dean brings a rare light to 
Chicago's jazz and fusion scene. With his original composition, Dean presents a 
familiar improvisational platform with a unique vigor. transforming ideas into 
music, he demonstrates a bold creative style without dwelling on his own or 
others' previous work. Fine-tuned orchestrations, unbound improvisation and an 
adventurous approach to musical communication are all part of Dean's 
distinctive feel.

A jazz and studio performance graduate of the University of Cincinnati College 
Conservatory of Music, Dean's repertoire hints of influences from a variety of 
composers and genres. Intrepid percussion, funky bass lines, keyboard 
psychedelics and consistent guitar technique nod to the popular works of Miles 
Davis, Weather Report and John McLaughlin. Rockers Frank Zappa, King Crimson 
and Primus are entitled to Dean's avante respects. Dean delivers a knockout 
punch of harmonic reason.

Dean's band draws from a rotating pool of talented players. On their debut 
recording, Guitarist Moto Makino (Sugar Blue) delivers an extraordinarily 
virtuous sound. Eric Levy (Fareed Haque, Garaj Mahal) opens limitless harmonic 
doorways on keyboards. Chris Clemente's (Kick the Cat, Amazing Headgear) bass 
shows no mercy, careening listeners toward the dance floor. Novelty and 
proficiency produce Dean's percussive power on drums. Their talents meld to 
produce an elaborate and pristine tonal palette.

Dean's efforts have produced collaborative support among musicians with 
well-established and fruitful careers. Dean has opened for major artists 
including Victor Wooten, Charlie Hunter, Stanley Jordan, The Aquarium Rescue 
Unit, Billy Cobham and Jazz-is-Dead, Big Ass truck and Colonel Bruce Hampton. 
The band has performed at Cincinnati's Kilgore's, Ripley's Alive, The Barrel 
House, Columbus' Philman's, Chicago's The Elbo Room, Quenchers Saloon and The 
Drink.

A lively artistic presence, organized commercial appeal and active networking 
represent the methods by which Robin Dean is making a name for himself. A 
member of Chicago's Night Wing Productions promotional collaborative, Dean's 
bookings spark a network of communication with affiliated bands and music 
seekers. At the forefront of Chicago's independent music scene, Dean's 
connections will catalyze the staple of independent success.
