Info for The Second

Bassist Derrick Hodge gehört zur jungen Musikergeneration, die unter Blue-Note-Chef Don Was die große Tradition des berühmtesten Jazz-Labels der Welt weiterführen. Als Musiker des Robert Glasper Experiment wurde Hodge bereits zweimal mit dem Grammy ausgezeichnet.

Unter dem passenden Titel „The Second“ erscheint jetzt sein zweites Blue-Note-Soloalbum. Atmosphärische Jazz-Tracks mit einem durchgehend modernen Groove bestimmen hier den akustischen Sound, der dezent mit Samples und elektronischen Klängen aufgebrochen wird.

Obwohl Hodge mit beiden Beinen im Jazz steht und zu den modernen Meistern seines Instrumentes gehört, ist er so bewandert in angesagten Black-Music-Sounds, dass Nu-Soul-Star Maxwell ihn zum musikalischen Leiter seiner aktuellen World-Tour bestimmt hat.

Derrick Hodge
has spent his youthful career transcending between various styles of Hip-Hop, Gospel, R&B, Funk, Singer/ Songwriter, and Jazz, performing and/or recording with an impressive roster of GRAMMY® nominated and awarded artists including Maxwell, Common, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Timbaland, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, Gerald Levert, Kanye West, Andre 3000, Sade, Terence Blanchard, Mulgrew Miller, Clark Terry, Donald Byrd, and many more.

In 2008, he was commissioned to write a piece by the Chicago Symphony entitled “Infinite Reflections”, and was selected to be a part of the Sundance Composer Lab. Hodge currently performs as a solo artist in front of sold out crowds at diverse venues including Summerstage and Blue Note Jazz Club, maintains a steady career as a film composer, and serves as the Musical Director for Maxwell.

“Live Today is the way I chose to begin my story as a solo artist. It is a melting pot of sound and emotions, and is how I decided to capture my thoughts at that moment in time. There were many directions that this record could have went, but I chose to give people what was on my mind in a very raw, unedited way. Live Today is about acceptance, being in the moment while paying respect to those that came before me, and about writing music that feels good to me.” (Derrick Hodge)

This album contains no booklet.
