In their live set they play original compositions as well as arrangements to ancient Hebrew songs, along...

Scary Pockets keeps bringing it with their excellent re-imagined covers of classic songs. Here’s their take on Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About,” with vocalist Raquel Rodriguez. The arrangement and mastering on this one is something special. As always, Sam Wilkes lays down the low end.

It is always fun to see a new video from Leonid & Friends pop up. Here’s the band performing another stellar cover of a Chicago tune. This time around, Leonid Vorobyev and the band take on “Street Player.” Special guest Arturo Sandoval joins the group for this one too.

I’m looking forward to seeing The Marcus King Band later this summer as part of Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Wheels of Soul Tour 2018. Here’s a great live performance of the band performing last year at the Reevestock Music Festival. The tune is “So Cold”, which features Stephen Campbell once again holding down a sweet groove on his P-bass.

Time for another great video by Brady Watt and the Lifetronics. In this live performance at The Breeding Ground NYC, the band performs their composition, “Coy.”

We’ve featured the duo of Wojtek Pilichowski and Adrian Maruszczyk before, and we’re always impressed with these guys. Here they are performing Wojtek’s groovy composition, “Nowe Buty”.

We first featured Mr. DanZ five years ago, with their great cover of “Proto Cosmos.” Here’s the band, featuring bassist Ben Shepherd, performing “Butterfly” by Herbie Hancock and Bennie Maupin. Ben adds something special to the tune with the use of a vocoder.
