I’ve watched this video more times than I can count (and I’m still watching). The Berklee Indian Ensemble, with Guy Bernfeld on bass, performed “5 Peace Band,” and they absolutely nailed it. “The Berklee Indian Ensemble is delighted to present ‘5 Peace Band’ featuring renowned Indian composer and vocalist, Shankar Mahadevan,” the video description reads. “Composed by John McLaughlin, ‘5...

Kevin and I caught the Wheels of Soul Tour stop at Wolf Trap in Virginia last month, which featured Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers, and Hot Tuna. Needless to say, it was a night of incredible music and bass playing, thanks to Tim Lefebvre, Chris Wood, and Jack Casady. One of the highlights of the night was when the...

Stevie Wonder’s songs have a magic that carries across the musical spectrum. Chris DeAngelis proves this once again with a killer bass and percussion version of “Living For The City.” Originally released on Wonder’s Innervisions, the song has a killer bounce that the bassist captures on his four-string before taking a nasty solo over top.

Our friend Lloyd Goldstein shared this video on Facebook, saying “Two of my most favorite expressive artists in the whole world. I hope you enjoy this!!!” We love it. Sébastien Dubé and his band perform “The Wrong Suitcase.” That bass tone! Sébastien Dubé

Lemmy Kilmister may be gone, but he’ll not be forgotten.

The metal world was shocked in April when it was announced that Korn bassist Fieldy would not be taking part in the band’s South American tour. Instead, 12-year old Tye Trujillo would be anchoring the group. Fans were split over the move, but now any fears can be set aside by watching a new mini-documentary on the trek. “Korn And...

As we like to say, the only thing better than one bass is two. Now make it two of the best bass players in the world and we’re sold. Here’s a clip of Chris Chaney and Tim Lefebvre testing out the new Supro Huntington bass with a little jam on the Led Zeppelin classic “Out on the Tiles.” After playing...

Back in July, a tribute concert for the late Allan Holdsworth took place at The Iridium in New York. Here’s a clip from the show featuring Holdsworth’s tune, “Water On The Brain Pt. II,” which featured some excellent solos by bassist Evan Marien and drummer Virgil Donati.

One of my favorite new discoveries is Terrace Martin & The Pollyseeds. Led by saxophonist Martin, the band blends styles a la ’70s Herbie Hancock. Bassist Brandon Eugene Owens kicks the song in with a nice melodic run before laying into a floating groove.

Shaun Munday celebrated Bill Withers’ birthday in July with this epic solo bass and vocals cover of Withers’ tune, “Use Me.” Shaun nails not only the bass arrangement but also the vocals.

Miki Santamaria joined keyboardist Alvaro Gandul and drummer Patti Ballinas for a couple of days at Yamaha Studios to record a few tunes. Miki is laying down some funky, envelope filter-driven lines on this one.
