Broken Silence

Dean Magraw

1994

Red House Records

“His acoustic guitar sings and swings, whispers tenderly and produces the most exciting music that I have heard in a long time. A Masterpiece” (Mittelbayerische Zeitung, Germany)

“…it’s so liquid, lyrical and effortless that it’s like listening to a dancer.” -Steve Tibbetts

“In guitarist Dean Magraw’s music, melodic jazz, blues, world music, and acoustic folk music all combine in an original fashion. Magraw performs primarily his tunes plus a song apiece by cornetist Don Cherry, Vince Guaraldi, and Charles Mingus (“Better Get It in Your Soul”). He is heard in unaccompanied solos and sometimes with guests… The music is subtle and mostly quite original, worth several close listens.” –Scott Yanow

“…Dean Magraw is truly bent….[BROKEN SILENCE is an] acoustic guitarist’s stunning debut. This is a player who is truly in control of his instrument. But panache, not flash is his hallmark….Impossible to pigeonhole, and impossible to ignore…” -Dirty Linen
