SFJAZZ presents year round jazz concerts, festivals, and educational programs at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco, CA. On March 15, 2024, Marcus Miller and his band took the stage. In this clip, the band performs Miller’s 1981 composition, “Run for Cover.”

This week’s top 10 reader-favorite stories on No Treble are chock full of bass goodness. This top 10 includes the exciting news of the new band Beat with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Danny Carey, and Steve Vai, a breakdown of the Brothers Johnson’s “Stomp!”, new bass gear, and more.

Rebecca Johnson lays down the groove on this live performance of James Brown’s “I Feel Good” and Prince’s “Kiss.”

Mateus Asato joined Martin Miller and his session band recently, and they took on the David Bowie hit “Let’s Dance.” Bassist Ben Jud trades the lead vocals with Miller on this one.

Steve Lawson shared this video from a solo gig in Birmingham. This first track from the performance is a beautiful solo bass arrangement of Taylor Swift’s “Anti Hero.”

Anderson .Paak is bringing the funky goodness on this live performance of “Am I Wrong,” on Apple Music’s season 2 of .Paak House Radio. Joined by ScHoolboy Q, the band is backed by the rock solid bass work of Kelsey Gonzalez.

I love Bill Bruford’s YouTube channel. He recently shared a video that brought me back to my high school days – and a VHS tape of King Crimson’s 1984 performance in Tokyo. “Elephant Talk” was one of the highlights for me, with Tony Levin performing masterfully on the Stick.

This week’s top 10 list features more bass gear, Sting’s return to a power trio, octave slides lesson, top 10 videos, our Pete Griffin interview, and new music from Mark Egan and Kim Gordon.

A bassist who goes by Stevo on YouTube posted an impressive video of his performance of the Jaco Pastorius tune, “Portrait of Tracy” - on the floor.

YYNOT dropped another video from Bubba Bash 2024. Here’s their performance of “La Villa Strangiato,” with Tim Starace handling the bass and keys.

Samuel Haynes is busy visiting his back catalog and remastering videos from the past. He shared this one for “Tempest 2.0,” which is a technical two-handed tapping piece.

In this video, Miki Santamaria performs “Tears” at Sol de Sants Studio in Barcelona. It’s a beautifully moving piece.
