KEXP surprised me with some videos they released of 79rs Gang. I watched several clips from the band’s performance during Trans Musicales 2022 but chose this one thanks to Taylor Guarisco’s thunderous bass work.

Another great week in the books, and it is time to look back at the best of No Treble from the past seven days. Here are the top 10 reader favorites for February 4-10, 2023.

Theo Katzman has a new album coming, and he’s sharing videos leading up to the release. “Be The Wheel” is the title track from the album, and Joe Dart lays down the head-bobbing groove on this one.

Zycopolis TV shared another gem with this video of the Chick Corea Akoustic Band performing live at Jazz à Vienne 1991. Watch Chick Corea, John Patitucci, and Dave Weckl performing “Round Midnight,” “Rhythm a Ning,” and “Quartet n°2.”

YYNOT’s Bubba Bash 2023 was a huge success, and the band continues to drop videos from the show. In this one, Tim Starace and the group is joined by drummer Jason Bittner to perform Rush’s “Natural Science.”

Martin Miller just dropped a video recorded at Weltklang Tonstudio in Plauen, Germany, in February 2020. In this clip, the band takes on Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” with Benni Jud once again handling the bass and vocals for the group.

Michael Manring recently shared this video from a performance he did with Tony Kaltenberg in September 2022. Here’s the Acoustic Groove Experience Duo performing Kaltenberg’s tune, “Thread of Joy,” which includes a beautiful bass solo by Manring.

No Treble reader Maarten Plukker sent us this video of Chopy Fatah and the band performing Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” He said, “Although a simple song, it showcases how locked John McVie and Mick Fleetwood were and always have been.”

It was another great week in the world of bass, and readers responded with a ton of visits to this week’s top 10 list on No Treble. As an added bonus, this top 10 list has another top 10 list inside!

I’ve been wearing out Snarky Puppy’s “Empire Central,” which is often on the turntable. The band just dropped another video from the session, with the laid back tune, “Cliroy,” which was written by trumpeter Jay Jennings.

Leland Sklar shared this video on Facebook recently, and I was glad he did. Filmed during the “Jude’s House” sessions in 2020, here’s Judith Owen, Sklar, and Pedro Segundo performing a super chill version of “September.”

January was a monster month of bass gear news on No Treble. This top 10 list comprises tens of thousands of views, at least. Here’s your roundup of the top 10 bass gear stories for the month.
