Man, we sure love Anthony Vitti’s “Forgotten Groove Yard”. In episode #34, Anthony sat down with Jonathan Elyashiv for what they simply describe as a “hip hop jam”. “John is one of our super talented Berklee students who you will be hearing from for years to come,” Anthony shared. “Check out his super cool groove on his Hofner bass!” Groove!

One of our favorite bassists is back with a new video. Fernando Lamadrid leads this band in their performance of his original tune, “Iniciático”.

Nico Cabrera shared this video with us of his cover of “Toda una Vida” with vocalist Valentina Solera. “It is a typical bolero played with bass & voice,” Nico shared. Enjoy.

We’re celebrating Nathan East’s birthday today with a killer performance of “101 Eastbound” taken from last year’s NAMM show. East chords on his bass while vocalizing the melody before playing the lead lines. His gorgeous playing is also supported by Melvin Lee Davis, who lays down the bass from the back of the band. Happy birthday, Mr. East!

Bass and cello duo Von Thord have returned with a set of new videos, including this performance of the song “Nya Mäster”. Bassist David Werthén sets up a beautiful groove for John Bergion’s melancholy melody before things get heated up with unison and octave lines. Their technical prowess and innate musicality make this a video you’ll want to watch more...

Roberto Pace shared this video of his duo with vocalist Chiara D’Emilio. This time around, they offer something a little different – their tribute to Jaco Pastorius and Victor Bailey. Enjoy.

We love seeing bass playing buskers, and this video is a good example of why. America Paz and Eduardo Sitja took to the streets of Santiago, Chile to play some bass and melt some faces. The duo trades slap lines back and forth, building on each other’s ideas for a fun jam session.

Federico Malaman messaged me the other day about a new project he’s involved in. The idea was to take “five musicians from four different countries and make music together without ever being in the same room!” This tune was composed and arranged by keyboardist Eden Rabin (Israel) and features guitarist Tony Martinez (Spain), saxophonist Shlomi Cohen (USA), drummer Eran Asias...

Bassist Chika Obiora sent us this video of her band Signals of Bedlam. “We play heavy progressive rock a la Tool or Mars Volta. We’ve got heavier stuff, more atmospheric trippy stuff, and songs that are a little of both,” Chika shared. This is their song, “Mass Appeal,” which appears on their album, Escaping Velocity. We’re going to be on...

Six-string bass monster Snow Owl (aka Juan Garcia-Herreros) put his own spin on a classic funky track, and it’s epic. Seawind’s “Devil Is A Liar” has an already killer bass line, but the bassist’s energy and extra fills add just that much more fun to the track.

Just in time for Jaco Pastorius’s birthday today, Rick Suchow has shared another great video. This one, like others we’ve shared before, was recorded during Weather Report’s 1978 show in Reading, PA. The video was shot by Peter Erskine’s father, Dr. Fred Erskine and mixed with the audio feed from Brian Risner’s soundboard mix. “The interesting thing about this particular...

Niodel released their debut album, 1-13, in November and kicked off the release with a special show. The duo, featuring Paolo Cipollini on bass and Mattia Bellotti on drums, explore the relationship between electronic and live music with their instruments and sample pads. The result is a killer mix of ambient and driving music. Check out this clip from their...
