Bass Videos

I love the Scott Devine’s and Ian Allison’s videos where they break down songs and bass lines. In this episode, they take on one of the greatest of all time: Tony Levin’s work on “Sledgehammer” – and more.

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.

Tony Senatore sent us this touching video, which he recorded as a tribute to Leona Semioli and Carla Bley. He chose Stevie Wonder’s “Too Shy To Say.”

I love when Charles Berthoud reimagines songs on the fretless bass. In this new video, he takes on the Red Hot Chili Peppers tune, “Under The Bridge.”

Zander Zon titled this video, “Is this the most ethereal JAZZ melody ever?” The bassist took on Janek Gwizdala’s “American Elm,” adding helpful information throughout.

Today is No Treble Managing Editor Kevin Johnson’s birthday, and we’re celebrating with some good stuff from The Plate Scrapers.

I absolutely love Snarky Puppy’s work with the Metropole Orkest. So it was exciting to see them drop a new video, which came with an announcement. Here’s an alternate take of “The Curtain.”

Usually, when we share a video by Josh Cohen, he’s playing the bass. But in this one, he’s out front, scatting his way through a medley of “Donna Lee/Indiana.”

Steve Lawson has a new album out, and he shared the video for the title track with us. This groovy track was improvised live at the Warehouse Cafe in Birmingham in February.

I always love it when Cory Wong drops a new video. Joined by Alexander 23, here’s the band performing “On My Mind,” with Yohannes Tona on bass.

NPR’s latest Tiny Desk Concert is a special one. Linda May Han Oh performed music from her 2023 album, “The Glass Hours,” as well as new material.

Our friend Nenad Vasilic sent us his latest video, and this is worth a watch. “Straight to the Point” is a terrific solo bass tune he composed and arranged.
