Summary

DEAN BROWN is a deep cat — a fact any music lover could infer with a quick glance at Dean’s résumé, because the guitarist has not only worked with everyone from Roberta Flack, Michael Brecker, and Eric Clapton to Billy Cobham, Joe Zawinul and Marcus Miller, he’s also just released his fifth solo album, which is a genre-defying sonic odyssey called Rolajafufu. For this lengthy guitar hang and jam, host JUDE GOLD meets up with Dean at Xotic Guitars’ California headquarters, where, as a bonus, Xotic’s KENNY ECHIZEN (a stellar guitarist in his own right) makes a guest appearance.
