Artistic License (2023)

"Artistic License" - 2023 album by Steve DeDoes

Musical Colors on Display…start with piano, add strings & orchestra, and expand into “Infinite” possibilities… Instrumental soundtracks here spring forth from a number of unusual places – Olympic triumphs, introspective journeys, even a techno-rock-orchestral score (“Alternate Universes”) that was inspired from a novel by best-selling author Brian Freeman (“Infinite”). All with the sophisticated, clever layers that are part of Steve DeDoes’ musical craft.

Kathryn Talalay, NY Times-featured author (“Composition in Black and White”)

Intimate Notebooks (2023)

"Intimate Notebooks" - 2023 album by Steve DeDoes

Musical Layers and Dimensions – from the piano, the mind, and the studio of Steve DeDoes. Intriguing instrumental inventions, both of popular material and originals, are accented by a couple creative vocal contributions, by renowned Detroit-area artists: “A World Unknown” (April Tini), and “Frozen In Ice” (Emma Aboukasm).

 

“I’m VERY proud to appear on this incredible artistic statement…but for me, the high points of this album are Steve’s piano playing, along with the creativity in his arrangements.”
April Arabian-Tini, vocalist on “A World Unknown”

Something Got Me Started (2021)

"SGMS" - 2021 album by Steve DeDoes

Distinctive presentations of songs that you know. Pop favorites reimagined (with vocals) like “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You“, “Something Got Me Started“…unique instrumental takes on hits like “Happy“, “Smooth Operator“…along with inventive reworks of well-known crossover and jazz standards. You’ll also hear lots of incredible solo work by saxophone artist Mattie DeDoes, together with contributions from many other fine players !

note: to simplify proper payment to songs’ original composers, this collection of music (i.e., all “covers”) was released to platforms that stream only.

…from a longtime listener – “It’s like I’m hearing these great songs again for the FIRST TIME !!

Single Release: “Magic In The Night” (2024 update to 90’s TV Theme)

"Magic In The Night" - single release by Steve DeDoes

This song was originally composed by Steve DeDoes (with Kerstin Allvin) in the late 1980’s. It was subsequently recorded by Moloney Productions and used in live shows worldwide – it then enjoyed a connection with the late magician Doug Henning, to be employed in a video collection of his television specials. This original version of the song received a Billboard Magazine award in 1993.
DeDoes has subsequently re-written the lyrics, and releases an exciting new version here in a guitar-driven production that features vocals by Sue Gillis and Laura Lyons.

Beyond (2020)

"Beyond" - 2020 album by Steve DeDoes & the Helmholtz Project

…a collection of music produced to inspire, to accompany constructive thought, and to encourage positive & meaningful action. “Beyond” is a listening experience built from the topical content of the title track, which was composed and produced in the early months of 2020. The COVID crisis of that year represents but one of the challenges that we, as citizens of the planet Earth, are faced with in the years ahead.

“As our world continually gets more complex and challenging, we must reach for greater understanding. The musical expressions we explore can raise our sights, and the lives that we lead can reflect patterns of broader value and greater purpose.
“May this music help you to go BEYOND” — S.D.

Mattie DeDoes – Outside The Lines (2018)

"Outside The Lines" - Mattie DeDoes

Take in the spectrum of Mattie (Mattias) DeDoes’ saxophone – in collaboration with his father. Original instrumentals “Slow Burn” and “Overdrive” are the opening innings in a complete-game performance by the former collegiate pitcher, and you’ll hear a wide range of Mattie’s artistry across not only jazz styles, but also classical, hip-hop, & techno-jazz.

“…If you ever get a chance to hear Mattie DeDoes play his sax – TAKE IT. You’ll be amazed, as I was.”
Mike Larson, Ann Arbor Journal

A Special Single Release: “Lullabye For Lisa”, from Bluetopia

"Bluetopia" - Steve DeDoes & the Helmholtz Project

A musical love letter. The layers of this song – the transparencies, the complexities…all culminate in a statement of pure intimacy. The “space between the notes” (a Debussy quote) is part of the great performance, as Steve’s quartet (with saxophonist Pete Kahn, bassist David Stearns, and percussionist David Taylor) works improvisational magic with this beautiful ballad. This song, and this careful rendering of it, wonderfully convey the intangibles that occur over a lifelong relationship.

“This is a MASTERPIECE !”
John E. Smith, jazz & classical artist (trumpet), musicologist, and college music educator
