Dead Center is an album by tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander.

[1] The four musicians are tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist John Webber, and drummer Joe Farnsworth.

[2] The AllMusic reviewer compared it to "the moody and atmospheric mid-to-late-'60s work of fellow reedmen Wayne Shorter and Hank Mobley", and concluded that the album "finds Alexander revealing himself as a grounded and muscular improviser who never takes his eye off the target.

"[4] On All About Jazz, Russ Musto said "Eric Alexander is one of the jazz tradition's strongest proponents, possessing an inviting sound and style that can be proudly called classic.

On Dead Center he forges straight ahead with a satisfying program of standards and seldom heard original compositions by jazz masters".
