Derrick Hodge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Derrick Hodge is a young African-American bassist in-demand in both jazz and hip-hop circles. He usually plays upright bass (as shown), but has played electric when needed. Notable recent recordings and gigs of Hodge's are mainly sideman ones — to date, Hodge has never had his own band — and venture into both jazz and rap/hip-hop. The most prominent of these jazz ventures include those with Terell Stafford bands, and his appearance with Terence Blanchard on the extremely successful 2005 recording, Flow. He also appeared on rapper Common's album Be. Recently, Derrick was a contributing composer for the original musical score of When The Levees Broke: A Requium in Four Acts, a HBO documentary produced by Spike Lee. The documentary will air in August 2006.
