by John Kelman
April 30, 2005

Saxophonist Elton Dean first came to fame in the late '60s as a member of pianist Keith Tippett's sextet, and perhaps more prominently as part of what is now considered to be the classic Soft Machine lineup that recorded Third, Fourth and Fifth.

Artists including John Abercrombie and Bill Evans have said that the best free music still requires a reference point.

Elton Dean and Mark Hewins: Bar Torque

by Todd S. Jenkins
October 1, 2001

This debut release on the Moonjune label is rich, commanding and almost uncategorizable, an auspicious beginning for a new imprint.

The two ...

Elton Dean: Moorsong

by AAJ Staff
April 1, 2001

English saxophonist Elton Dean retains the dubious distinction of having put the “Elton" into Elton John. (Yes, it's true. The zillionaire pianist formerly known as Reginald Dwight took his first name from Dean, with whom he performed decades ago.) Dean, who has extensively collaborated with pianist Keith Tippett, appears comfortable in a variety of styles. From ...
