Back in 2019, Rod Wray sent us a video by Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and their unique performance of Tower of Power’s “What Is Hip?”. Here’s a video bassist Juna Serita released in October, with the band getting down on “Funk No.1”.

For episode 6 of the Sanborn Sessions “Remote Session”, there’s an exciting guest. Christian McBride joins the David Sanborn and the band virtually to discuss music and perform “Please Send Me Someone To Love”.

For a lot of us, it’s been a tough run. My good friend Aaron Gibson turned that into something musical and beautiful. Here’s his latest, which he named “Tenderfoot”.

This week was a great week, and No Treble readers responded with a lot of views. This week we featured a couple of lessons, a transcription., Victor Wooten Band’s impressive video, new bass gear, and more. Here is your top 10 list for the week.

The Main Squeeze debuted a new video yesterday, and it is funky (as the name indicates). “Dr. Funk” starts out smooth, with guest Grace Kelly on sax. Then Rob Walker takes it up a notch before the whole band kicks in.

Scary Goldings are back with their killer lineup of John Scofield, MonoNeon, and Louis Cole joining Larry Goldings, Jack Conte, and Ryan Lerman. From their upcoming album, “IV”, here’s the band cooking on “Professor Vicarious”.

Shane Hendrickson’s video for “The Maker” was a huge hit when we shared it. Now, he’s sent us another. Check out his impressive cover of Nickel Creek’s “The Smoothie Song”, played on his Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass he named "Honey".

Our friend Steve Lee shared this video on Facebook (via another friend, Dave Swift). This is a fantastic clip of Rickie Lee Jones performing on Old Grey Whistle Test on September 9, 1979. The great Reggie McBride laid down some sweet bass in this one.

Rick Such shared this great video from Indy Jazz Fest 2021. He titled it “Victor Wooten and his band giving the crowd a lesson in time signatures at Indy Jazz Fest 2021?. Indeed it is.

Cory Wong keeps bringing the heat with music from “The Paisley Park Session”. In this video, the band performs their own take on Vulfpeck’s “Dean Town”, with Sonny T ripping it up.

Charles Berthoud is known for pushing the boundaries, and he sometimes gets snarky comments about his approach. One of them is obviously “you should just play piano!” So he did just that, and we absolutely love it.

Norm Stockton’s first season of “Grooves & Sushi” comes to a close with a truly impressive episode. This one includes Mark Lettieri, Chris Coleman, and Rob Rinderer performing Norm’s tune, “A Wristwatch On Mars”.
