Bass Videos

Usually, when we share a video by Josh Cohen, he’s playing the bass. But in this one, he’s out front, scatting his way through a medley of “Donna Lee/Indiana.”

Steve Lawson has a new album out, and he shared the video for the title track with us. This groovy track was improvised live at the Warehouse Cafe in Birmingham in February.

I always love it when Cory Wong drops a new video. Joined by Alexander 23, here’s the band performing “On My Mind,” with Yohannes Tona on bass.

NPR’s latest Tiny Desk Concert is a special one. Linda May Han Oh performed music from her 2023 album, “The Glass Hours,” as well as new material.

Our friend Nenad Vasilic sent us his latest video, and this is worth a watch. “Straight to the Point” is a terrific solo bass tune he composed and arranged.

Nathan East and his son Noah performed at Campus JAX in March, and cameras were rolling. Here they are performing Steve Wonder’s “Sir Duke.”

Louis Johnson was something special. In this special clip, we hear him thumping and plucking on the the Tranzit tune “Dance” from 1983. His trusty Musicman Sabre also makes an appearance.

Hadrien Feraud dropped another spectacular video from his “Bass of Doom Sessions” series. Armed with Jaco Pastorius’s legendary bass, here’s Hadrien and the band performing Joni Mitchell’s “Black Crow.”

Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim took the stage at Berklee’s Spring Bass Bash. Here’s the duo jamming on the tune, “Jean Pierre.”

Zander Zon tuned his bass to match a cello’s, put a capo on the 12th fret, and then performed a stunning rendition of Bach’s “Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major.”

The Jaco Pastorius Archive delivered big with this recording of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man,” performed by Tommy Strand & The Upper Hand. Jaco was only 19 at the time.

No Treble readers never fail to impress us. Here’s a video Milan Srdanovic shared with us of a masterful solo bass arrangement of “Niška Banja.”
