I don't personally know Mike Bereal, Kevin Powell, or Eddie Brown, but I bet they know Derrick Jackson. If they didn't learn personally from him they learned from somebody who learned from Derrick or was well influenced. No doubt!
They definitely know him - we would all see each other at AIM every year, if nothing else.
Besides that, it's a small world among gospel musicians, especially if you ever played for a church choir that was singing at somebody's anniversary service every other week!
I never new that things would come to this. My mom and Derrick Jackson mother Mom Jackson used to be co-workers at my school in the early 90's. She was the Director for the school Choir which me and my brother where apart of and one year the family put on a concert for the whole school. I didn't at the time know how blessed I was to see and be exposed to that but I am truly greatful.
Believe it or not? Butch and, Derrick are Good Friends! And, yes Butch can 2 play like that!! Different styles but both of these dudes are Dangerous!!!!!!!
Alfred Bolden was obviously a Great Influence on this Great Musician! As for the Hymn question earlier, "Only What You Do For Christ Will Last", is the Hymn! My prayer is to eventually master the organ as well as Derrick has, He is Really Anointed and Inspiring! I'll have to invite him to San Antonio, Texas where true organ music is really appreciated! The Maestro/DC/Bishop
true...butch is descent but there is no one on earth that is even close to this guy! I think ezra bufford can play some of the classic things that he can but not like derek. Derek can run bass on the organ with both feet!
He has a lot of the late great Alfred Bolden in him big time and does it well!!! Someone sent me that old album on a cassette. So now I might put it on a CD and transfer it to my hard drive to make a audio clip on here. The young organists needs to hear a little history of Mr. Alfred Bolden.
I know they were selling them at his church, Faith Temple COGIC in Memphis. Contact his sister, Barbara (who is sick on the organ also) at their teaching studio 901 345 7732.
The shouting music was nice, but he held back a lot. He did throw some ridiclous classical stuff in the middle of it though. As sick as the stuff is on this video, Derrick does his most amazing stuff after church sevices when he talks to musicians and shows what he does. Even then it's hard to learn because you're so amazed at what he doing. He also knows EVERY HYMN ever written.
While I was traveling with the late Bishop G. E. Patterson (playing drums), we went to TBN. When the sound techs were ready to sound check the grand piano, DJ was hadn't had a chance to make it to the right side of the keyboard were the bench was. So what did he do...(instead of walking around to sit down and play) he played the thing standing up on the WRONG SIDE of the piano!!!!!!!
Perfect Pitch! I sat under Derrick for about a year and a half. I learned so much at Jackson Studio of Music on Elvis Presley Blvd in Memphis TN. His humility makes him the beast he is! Skill and anointing is an awesome duo!! Yes he could sit down and just listen and chart it verbatim. that is the truth.
Ohhh, there's also that time he was traveling with some orchestra. And while in route, someone on the bus realized that they had left the sheet music in the previous city. Derrick took a CD of a previous concert and a pencil & paper and scored the show in his hotel room before the concert began. "Perfect Pitch" is not even accurate...the dude can hear a fly fart!!! (No offense)
For all of you in other states that may not know this, DJ sat in w/Chic Korea once & made Chic stop playing. Who else could turn chic out @ his own show?!?!?!?
uhh once again ezra is good but Jackson is better, Mr. Jackson is far more advanced in thoery and technique. the two cannot be put in the same category, Mr JAckson would not like for me to talk about him in this manner, but honestly fact is fact. as Paul said if I must boast let it be in the Lord, for he gets all the glory.
This guy amazes me. He definately is a skilled anointed organist. He knows how to keep your attention. Just when you think you know where he is going, he throws it in your face. It is like backing you up in a corner and you wondering, how we gonna get out....lol

I just noticed that you can see a lot of the ridiculous stuff that Kevin Powell plays was influenced by D Jackson.
The amount of Hammond organ talent within the church of God in Christ could shut down just about any conservatory on the planet.
