ABOUT DEZRON

Bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator Dezron Douglas has established himself as a major force in contemporary creative music.

A protégé of the great Jackie McLean, the Downbeat Magazine 2019 Rising Star is known for his work with Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Cyrus Chestnut, David Murray, Louis Hayes, Enrico Rava and also with piano legends George Cables, Eric Reed, Mulgrew Miller and Benny Green. In 2021, he joined the Trey Anastasio Band.

Douglas has recorded on more than 100 albums, contributing to the artistry of numerous bandleaders and maintaining an integral presence in the sounds of his peers, including Keyon Harrold, Jonathan Blake, Melanie Charles, and Makaya McCraven. He is an active music educator, currently on the Jazz Studies faculty at NYU Steinhardt.

In November of 2020 “Force Majeure” the critically acclaimed collaborative duo record with harpist Brandee Younger was released on the International Anthem record label. “Meditations on Faith” his solo bass improvisation was released shortly after.

In late 2022 Douglas releases his long-awaited quartet album Atalaya (International Althem, 2022), an instrumental album with much to say. Singles from Atalaya are now streaming on all platforms. https://dezrondouglas.squarespace.com

Douglas has released six albums as a leader. His 2012 debut record, Live at Smalls, earned a positive review in The New York Times, which wrote: "Learned as it may be, this is living-language music — jazz as it’s practiced, more than as it’s studied."

He is longstanding member of the Ravi Coltrane Quartet and has performed with the Louis Hayes Jazz Communicators.

In 2019, Douglas was the winner of the Downbeat critics poll in the category of "Rising Star bassist".[10] Douglas was featured on DownBeat magazine's July 2020 cover along with Brandee Younger and six other artists.[11]

In 2021, Dezron joined the Trey Anastasio Band, replacing the late Tony Markellis.
