Dunlop brought Snarky Puppy in for their “Sessions” series, which blends performances and interviews with artists. In this episode, members of Snarky Puppy discuss “their beginnings and the risks and rewards of standing by your musical vision.” There’s also the music of course, with Michael League and the band performing “Binky” and “Flood”. Enjoy.

I have good news. A new Aaron Gibson video is here. Aaron sent me this last night. He’s busy working on his new album too, which is more great news. “‘Not Good Enough‘ will be one of the tunes on the new album (Which I will get around to recording soonish)”, Aaron shared. “My son Barrett (11) did some of...

I’m not sure if I would have ever seen this video if it hadn’t been for Pete Skjold sharing it. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched it since then. In this clip, Stanley Clarke, George Duke, and Howard Hewett sit in a studio for a nice acoustic performance of “Heaven Sent You”, which appeared on Clarke’s album,...

Meet Dylan DeBiase, a bassist, singer and songwriter who is comfortable with the traditional role of the bass, but he’s also equally comfortable stretching out and exploring. Dylan is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of October 12, 2015. Here’s his story… Bio: I’m a small town kid from upstate New York, a recent graduate of Purchase...

You’re going to want to clear your schedule, because we have an all-new top 10 bass videos list for you. These are the 10 most watched videos on No Treble last month. Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing! 1. Leo Lyons and a Double Sided Bass I’m surprised I’ve never seen this – a video that’s been out since 2010....

The Winery Dog released their new album – and announced their tour – earlier this month, and the album is moving up the charts. Check out Billy Sheehan, Richie Kotzen and Mike Portnoy in this video of Hot Streak’s opening track “Oblivion”.

This week was an exciting one for us. First, we announced Joe Hubbard has joined our list of excellent contributors. Joe will be offering up lessons here, and his first one already made the top 10. We also introduced some new (to us) bassists through some excellent videos, while re-introducing ourselves to an old favorite. Last but far from least...

Vulfpeck’s much anticipated debut full-length album, Thrill of the Arts, has arrived. And as always, the band is anchored by Joe Dart, one of our favorite bassists on the scene. Here’s Vulfpeck’s video premiere for the album, “Funky Duck,” with vocalist Antwaun Stanley. Always great to get some new Vulfpeck in the mix. Thrill of the Arts is available today...

Legendary saxophonist Phil Woods passed away on September 29th, 2015, prompting Rick Suchow to go through his vast video library and share this gem, which was recorded in 1990. Anthony Jackson “shows his Latin Jazz side on the tune ‘Wamba’ (written by Salif Keita),” Rick shared. What an all-star cast on this video too: Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet and percussion), Woods...

Jérôme Burnet has a great story, as you’ll see in this week’s Spotlight. Among the things we loved about his story includes his sense of humor, the unique bands he’s been a part of, and that he’s a magician too. Here’s his story… Bio: I’m a French guy living in London since 2001. I have been playing guitar since 1996...

I discovered this video of Rob Mullarkey thanks to Steve Lawson, who called it “properly beautiful.” Rob took “Just My Imagination” – his all time favorite Temptations track – and improvised over it using only his “Lakland 44-51 and an old Boss RC2 looper pedal.” Properly beautiful indeed.

It has been a long time since we featured a video with bassist Dave Marks. Time to correct that. Dave just sent me a video with a newer project, Harmless Funk – a jazz/funk quintet he’s been playing with this year. Here they are doing one of the all-time great funk instrumental tunes – the Meters’ “Cissy Strut”.
