Selah Poitier shared her latest video with us, and it is killer. In this clip, the bassist/vocalist performs her original, “I’ve Learned To Love Me,” live at Berklee. Love the old school vibe on this one. And dig that solo!

Franklin Peredo sent us his original composition, “Girasol Negro,” which features some gorgeous soundscapes created with incredible right hand technique. I had to watch this one a few times to catch everything he does.

Costantino Riemma does it all in this video featuring the bassist playing both bass and drums… at the same time. And wow, does he do it well. In this clip, Costantino covers a lot of musical ground with “Smoke On The Water,” “Billie Jean,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Enter Sandman”. Check out Costantino’s Facebook page for more.

Charles Mingus was one of the greatest bassists and composers of the 20th century. His melodies and harmonies always seem to express the deepest of emotions in unexpected ways. Pablo Elorza and Valeria Falcon bring out that same depth with their bass and vocal arrangement of “Duke Ellington’s Sound of Love.” Full of lush and complex chords, the duo seem...

Here’s another great cover by the band featuring Bryan Ladd on bass. This time around, the trio of Ladd along with James Spears on Fender Rhodes and Jason Patterson on drums takes on Stevie Wonder’s “Love Light In Flight.” These guys get down. (And dig that Moogerfooger-driven bass solo!)

So much can be said with just a bass guitar. Here’s a great example of that with David Piggott’s “Unbroken,” a song he wrote for his wife. Piggott uses some crafty measures to create a beautiful flow of notes, with some strings backing him up for good measure.

Adam Nitti sent me this video saying, “[Here’s] another project i’m involved with, called ‘The Bottom 40’. kind of on the Dirty Loops tip, but in a different style. (I even snuck in a sweep lick, LOL….) This band has been creating some heavy momentum online lately…” The tune is Katy Perry’s “Firework”, and also features Michael Whittaker on keys,...

After releasing Funktastic last year, bassist Mike Zabrin is back with a new single called “Slice”. Starting as a tender and introspective piece, the song morphs into a mid-tempo groove before kicking it up another notch into an upbeat jam. Check out this clip of Zabrin and his band throwing down on “Slice” as well as “What’s the Dea?” from...

After Trampled Under Foot dissolved, lead singer and bassist Danielle Nicole struck out on her own, and we’re glad she did. This clip is a big reason why. Shot at Knuckleheads in Kansas City, Nicole and her group get deep on the ballad “Just Give Me Tonight” from the bandleader’s album Wolf’s Den. She lays down a thick, tasty bass...

On December 1st, 1951, Jaco Pastorius – the man many of us consider the greatest bass player ever – was born. “We all say it: He’s our Hendrix,” Juan Alderete said in the recently released film, JACO. In honor of his birthday today, we revisit a classic solo from a 1978 Weather Report concert, where Jaco quotes Hendrix and a...

Jesús Rico Pérez is one of our favorite solo bassists around here. So it is always thrilling to see a new video from him. In this video, Jesus performs his composition, “Peace Prayer,” for piccolo fretless bass. Enjoy.

The Winery Dogs are enjoying great success with their second album, Hot Streak. Here’s the supergroup of Billy Sheehan, Richie Kotzen and Mike Portnoy performing two from their songs from their debut album – “Elevate” and “The Other Side” – live at Sonisphere 2014 at Knebworth Park in England on July 5th, 2014. This has to be the definition of...
