Dezron Douglas

Dezron Douglas is a Hartford-born bassist and composer whose deep, propulsive sound has anchored bands led by Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Louis Hayes, and Cyrus Chestnut. Born in 1981, he trained at the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the Hartt School, where he studied under the alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. He has appeared on more than one hundred recordings and leads his own groups, drawing on the hard-bop and spiritual-jazz traditions. With harpist Brandee Younger he formed the duo behind the album Force Majeure, released on International Anthem. In 2021 he joined the Trey Anastasio Band, and he teaches jazz studies at NYU Steinhardt.
