Dale was recently interviewed by Eric Elias for Just Jazz Guitar magazine’s February 2010 issue. Elias charts Dale’s career over four decades (the following is an excerpt from that interview):
Many of us have heard or seen Dale Zdenek's name before. As the man behind the Ted Greene books, Dale was the publisher for artists such as Ted, Tommy Tedesco, Ron Anthony, Rich Severson and many other fine guitarists. Most of us don't know that Dale is a professional guitarist himself and is a self-made businessman who set the standard for guitar education publications back in the 1970s. More than just a publisher, Dale is a guitarist whose career spans four decades. At age 21, Frank Sinatra hired Dale's band to play for Nancy Sinatra's 25th birthday party (Bobby Darin sat in on piano for the entire evening). Dale owned his first music store when he was 21 (Ernie Ball Guitar Studio). By the time he was 25 he had completed a college tour opening for Bob Hope. Dale has appeared on a number of talk shows including The Steve Allen Show, The Merv Griffin Show, The Mike Douglas Show, Woody Woodbury and was also booked on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. As the founder of Dale Zdenek Publications, Dale launched the educational careers of Ted Greene and many up and coming players. Dale sold the company to Belwin Mills/Columbia Pictures Publications in 1981 (which was sold to Warner Brothers and now Alfred). Dale still retains an interest in the company and his books are still best sellers for Alfred.
With his latest endeavor, Guitar Method Books 4 Less, Dale draws on a lifetime of experience as a publisher and a player to offer you the best method books at the best prices.
