Brazilian bassist Michael Pipoquinha is such an amazing player. His chops on a 6-string bass blow my mind! In this clip, he performs at Elgia Cafe in Brazil with his trio.

The great Marcus Miller has more goodness from his stint at SF Jazz. In this video, we catch Marcus giving an instructional lesson for all skill levels.

The amazing Nik West dropped a new video of her taking on the Prince classics “Head” and “Kiss.” Complete with an excellent band and vocal solos, each member shines bright on stage!

His last name is Pastorius, but he has definitely carved his own footprint. In today’s video, we have Felix Pastorius. This live performance at The Cave is reminiscent of that 70’s and 80’s fusion!

One of my favorite Brian Bromberg tracks is “10 West,” from the “Magic Rain” LP. Here, we catch him playing the tune live for an instructional video.

Louis Johnson was something special. In this special clip, we hear him thumping and plucking on the the Tranzit tune “Dance” from 1983. His trusty Musicman Sabre also makes an appearance.

Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim took the stage at Berklee’s Spring Bass Bash. Here’s the duo jamming on the tune, “Jean Pierre.”

In this video, Ed Friedland (on double bass) covers the Oscar Pettiford tune “Tricrotism.” The tune also features Kevin Ravellette on sax and my friend Kenji Lancaster on drums.

Marcus Miller and his band are back with another video from his shows at SF Jazz. This performance shows the crew taking on the Miles Davis fusion classic “Bitches Brew.”

Bass titans shared the stage at the Monte Carlo Jazz Festival. Here’s Ron Carter and Marcus Miller performing “Cominando.”

Nathan East is back with another jam with more world-class musicians. This jam features Erick Walls on guitar, John Paris on drums, and East on bass. This trio is on point!

David Dyson gives us an inside look at the madness that happens behind the scenes at the Smooth Jazz Cruise. Here’s an impromptu soundcheck jam with Dyson, Marcus Miller, Munyungo Jackson, and Peter White.
