Top 10: The Most Watched Bass Videos (July 2024)

The Jaco Pastorius Archive has another gem for us. Recorded 45 years ago this month, here’s Weather Report’s concert in Juan-les-Pins, Antibes, France.

Julia Hofer is getting down with some funky slap bass on Lenny Kravitz’s “Heaven.”

Vulfpeck took the stage at the Super Bock Super Rock Festival in Lisbon on July 20th. Joe Dart and the gang keep the crowd going with their hour-long performance.

Nate Navarro started the description of this video with “Let’s settle this once and for all.” Nate covers fingerstyle, pick, and slap bass, and of course, we dig it all.

I just discovered this performance by MonoNeon at North Sea Jazz 2023, and I’m glad I did. Here’s 25+ minutes of funky, smooth goodness for you.

Meshell Ndegeocello dropped an exciting new video today. “Love” is the second song to be released from her upcoming album, “No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin.”

Juliaplaysgroove broke out the fretless bass (“to enhance the 80s vibe of the song”) on Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!”

This amount of joy in this video is almost too much to handle. The Emmet Cohen trio and the amazing Cyrille Aimée take the beautiful ballad “La Vie en Rose” and liven it up with a beat.

Charles Berthoud put together another creative and entertaining video. In this one, he takes on the theme to “Mission Impossible” in a way you’d expect from the bass guru.

I’m digging Kinga Glyk’s new album, “Real Life,” so it was cool to see her drop this live video of her band performing “Unfollower.”
