Bio

Doug Harrison has pursued double bass performance and education as both a jazz and classical bassist. Studying classical bass performance as an undergraduate and Contemporary Performance in Global Jazz for his graduate studies, he brings a holistic approach to his students. For his Masters Degree, Doug has recorded an album of original music, and is creating a “Global Jazz Bass Method” for his students that balances ear training, harmony, and melody. This method emphasizes creating bass lines based on the sounds that students hear and create themselves.
