Derrick Hodge in Bass Player

[Dr. Cheese]

Check out the Derrick Hodge in the July issue of Bass Player. He gives some nice info on his work with Maxwell. The July issue is the best BP issue I have seen in a while. The Avishai Cohen cover story is great and the Afro Bass series is a winner.

The review of the Will Lee Sadowsky Sig is funny because the tone descriptions make me wonder if Jonathan Herrera has been reading TB for info.

This is a very good issue. My son (who is a Music Major in the Jazz Program) and I were blessed to see Terence Blanchard here in town about a year ago. Derrick Hodge absolutely killed on electric and upright! Great concert!!!

He did a fantastic job at the recent Maxwell show I took in - I suppose it should even be a blessing that I heard the bass in an arena show, but the he and the band were wonderful. Of course, sharing a rhythm section with Chris Dave and Robert Glasper doesn't hurt, either.

Was he playing his Fender Jazz Deluxe V?

Couldn't tell, from where I was seated.

Man, thats a naaasssttty rhythm section right there. I need to cop that BP then.

[T-MOST]

Yeah, those maxwell tracks are funky and soulful.

I thought the issue was good too. But Cohen did seem a bit arrogant at times.

Just confident. He is one of the best and actually has a fresh look on music and is making new music that sounds like no one else, and sounds good.
