I discovered this video (and band) thanks to Project RnL’s Eyal Amir. Here’s what he said: “Beautiful music, combined with originality & groove. This is so great!” Bushrock includes Kenwood Dennard on drums, Delmar Brown on keys and vocals, and Yossi Fine on bass. This is such a terrific tune and performance, and wait until you hear Yossi’s solo (around...

Berklee bass professor Anthony Vitti has a cool YouTube series called “Forgotten Grooveyard,” where he sits down with faculty, students and visiting artists at the school to kick out the jams. “The idea behind the ‘Forgotten Groove Yard’ was to record some lesser known classic grooves,” Vitti writes. “As a bass player, I approach everything from a rhythm section perspective....

Drummer Marito Marques runs a series of videos called “Drum & Bass Sessions”, where invites different area bassists to perform with him in his studio. Bassist Rich Brown sat in on Marito’s fourth video of the series. He shared this video with us so we can share it with you.

We’ve all had that moment when an unknowing fan asks what’s wrong with our “guitar.” Alberto Rigoni’s latest single, “Bass Guy”, and its video tackle that situation. The song will be on the bassist’s upcoming album Bassorama, due summer 2016.

Bruno Dumant shared this excellent video with us. Here’s his note: “Jacky Grandjean passed away in November last year. He mostly played within a flamenco trio in France. Here is a little video of him. No thrills, no loops, just music.”

This is the Beach Boys like you’ve never heard them. Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Fusion band Consider the Source sat down with videographer Jody Miller to document their quirky yet infectious rendition of “God Only Knows.” Bassist John Ferrara handles bass and melody with two-handed tapping while double-neck guitarist Gabriel Marin and drummer Jeff Mann perfectly fill out the arrangement. Be...

My daughter Sara is a constant source of new music for me. This time though, I’ll admit I was initially skeptical when she sent me this video. But as I watched, I grew more impressed with this Brazilian duo, Overdriver. In this video, bassist Fabi Terada and vocalist/guitarist Evandro Tiburski perform a cover of the Mr. Probz tune, “Waves” with...

Bassist Mike Frost said that “with all the noise and anticipation around the new Jaco documentary to be released this year, I began to reflect on that moment when many years ago I placed the Jaco Pastorius LP on the turntable and heard the opening track – Donna Lee. The ‘impossible’ made possible by Jaco. With the suggestion of a...

Back in May, we featured the duo of bassist Lucio Enrico Fasino and vocalist Deborah Falanga performing their take on “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”. Here’s Lucio backing SirJo on another unique cover. Check out their version of Bill Wither’s “Ain’t No Sunshine”.

Back in October, we shared a video of Harmless Funk, featuring bassist Dave Marks. The group performed the Meters’ classic, “Cissy Strut”. Dave just sent me the next video of the band from that same session. “This time it’s a cover of David Sanborn’s arrangement of [Ornette Coleman’s] ‘Ramblin’” he shared. “…bit more of a ‘bass-ey’ one.” We dig.

I’ve somehow avoided listening to Miley Cyrus’s hit tune, “Wrecking Ball”… until now. It is all thanks to bassist Lior Ozeri, who sent me his interpretation of this tune where he drops the original instrumentation and turns it into a bass arrangement behind Cyrus’s vocals. I dig this, and I don’t mind admitting it.

Fan clips and audio of the Dead & Company’s recent Halloween performance at Madison Square Garden have been trickling onto the web over the past few days, proving that the group is firing on all cylinders. The band features three original Grateful Dead members – Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann – with the “company” consisting of John Mayer,...
