Dee Brown

DEE BROWN Honeycomb Innervision Records

 Detroit-based guitarist dee Brown hits the Smooth Jazz sweet spot again with his brand new, smoothly groovin’ single, “Honeycomb,” from the forthcoming BROWN SUGAR, HONEY-COATED LOVE. This track features dee’s signature tasty jazz guitar work from the Wes Montgomery/George Benson school, always jazzy, funky, inspirational! “Honeycomb” is a feel-good musical conversation between guitar and sax and sounds like another guaranteed hit to my ears, and what’s more is that it’s a delicious tease of what’s to come on the full cd release, his debut on Innervision. Smooth Jazz fans worldwide are always eager to get into the latest from this talented artist! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
