NS Artist Educator Derek “The Professor” Menchan is a concert cellist, bassist, composer, and college instructor of the humanities, philosophy, and music.
In his recent For Bass Players Only interview with Jon Liebman, Derek describes the ways he performs his musical interests, combining seemingly disparate musical genres in to what he calls mruzick where “all the genres meet and do a dance together… That’s how I express myself.”
Recently finishing the follow up to his debut album ‘The Griot Swings the Classics’, which is due out in September 2020, he is now working on his third album featuring new sounds and is going into a more ‘cosmopolitan direction’, as he describes.
