An in-depth look at Jan Berry's creative situation in the Sixties, together with news and other interesting items relating to Jan & Dean.

Jan Berry, one of the great Los Angeles sound designers of the 1960s, now has an official Website.

Berry, one of the best record producers of his era, was the creative and technical force behind the legendary Jan & Dean.

The site features exclusive first-hand information and commentary from Jan Berry and a number of his creative associates and friends, including Brian Wilson, Lou Adler, Artie Kornfeld, Phil Sloan, Steve Barri, Don Altfeld, Jill Gibson, Bones Howe, Lanky Linstrot, George Tipton, Carol Kaye, Hal Blaine, Billy Strange, Don Peake, and others.

These individuals share their thoughts on Berry in the article, "'A Righteous Trip': In the Studio with Jan Berry."

The site also features discographical information and brief examples of some of Berry's original charts and scores (including "Pop Symphony").

The first phase of Jan & Dean's career was cut short when Berry was critically injured in an automobile accident in April 1966.

Struggling with the effects of traumatic brain injury (aphasia and apraxia), Jan Berry fought his way back. A television movie titled "Deadman's Curve," which dramatized Berry's tragedy and recovery, aired in 1978. The film scored big in the ratings for CBS, and helped pave the way for Jan & Dean's triumphant return to the stage.

In the process, Berry became a high profile inspiration for brain injured and physically handicapped people around the world.

Southern California Rehabilitation Services launched the Jan Berry Center for the Brain injured in 1986.

Berry released a landmark solo album in 1997.

Jan & Dean were featured on VH1's "Behind the Music" in 1998, and on A&E's "Biography" in 2002.

The duo still performs a limited number of concerts each year.

Thirty-seven years after his accident, Jan Berry continues to fight the effects of traumatic brain injury.
