Martin Dean & Yoyo Röhm Event

MARTIN DEAN - “The King of Space Age Gospel”
“Instead of accepting lucrative offers to perform in Las Vegas, a
crooner from the old school prefers to work on his artistic ambitions
in old Europe. This story sounds unbelievable and so does the music
of Martin Dean and his colleagues: psychedelic touches – live or per
mouse click, seductive minimal grooves, Latin American chill out,
funk, jazz piano, electronics, traces of Detroit rock (“Spacelord
Motherfucker”) – you name it. Despite stylistic diversity, the
original compositions sound like a unified whole which is not lastly
due to Martin Dean’s singing techniques. If you try to describe the
way he sings, you won’t be able to avoid recalling values and words
which were thought to be lost. Spontaneously one would like to praise
the melodiousness of his voice or spin tales of well-oiled vocal
cords. For their fans Martin Dean and his musicians (YoYo Röhm, bass;
Jochen Arbeit, guitar and Stephan Creutzburg, guitar) aim to sweeten
easy listening with depth. This is what they playfully accomplish
with their work “The Best of Martin Dean.”
