Career Overview

About Dezron Douglas

Douglas's management biography identifies the Hartford-raised musician as a bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator shaped by study with Jackie McLean. It documents more than one hundred recording appearances, six leader albums, and teaching on the NYU Steinhardt jazz faculty.[2]

His artist homepage centers Atalaya, while International Anthem connects that quartet album to Force Majeure, the intimate duo record made with harpist Brandee Younger during 2020 home livestreams. Douglas's own Bandcamp supplies Black Lion as an earlier acoustic and electric-bass leader session.[1][3][4][5]
