Jim Joel Santos Archives
Bass Jam Collaboration: Mercy Mercy Mercy
Chad Villar sent us this video of a duet he performed with Jim Joel Santos of the great Joe Zawinul tune, “Mercy Mercy Mercy”. These guys do such a terrific job, and it reminds me of another great bass duet of this tune from the archives.
Jim Joel Santos: “Human Nature” All-Bass Arrangement
Jim Joel Santos knocks us out with his bass playing and arrangements of tunes. Jim recently shared one of his newest videos, this time performing Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” with some tasty bass playing and soloing.
Jim Joel Santos: Solo Bass
Bassist Jim Joel Santos sent us this video of him performing an untitled solo bass tune which really knocked us out. We loved the composition, harmonics, tapping and technique. Well done, Jim! (He’s not left handed, by the way… his camera was set to mirror mode).
Jim Joel Santos: “The Chicken” Solo Slap Bass Arrangement
Bassist Jim Joel Santos sent this fun video our way. Jim took the Pee Wee Ellis tune made famous by Jaco Pastorius, and created his own slap bass arrangement of it. We dig it. How about you?
