In 2019, Herbie Hancock, Christian McBride, and Vinnie Colaiuta took the stage at the Newport Jazz Festival. Here’s a clip from the event featuring the trio. Masters at work!
REO Brothers: Getting Better
Every time I watch a video by the REO Brothers, I’m just as impressed as I was with the last. These guys are so remarkable at recreating tunes so faithfully to the originals. Here they are performing the Beatles’ “Getting Better”.
Scary Pockets: My Future
Scary Pockets just shared their latest video, with guest vocalist Joanna Jones. In this clip, the band takes on the Billie Eilish tune, “My Future.” Joe Ayoub performs with the band once again and lays it down on a ’72 Fender Precision Bass.
Lake Street Dive: Don’t Let Me Down
Lake Street Dive took Halloween to a whole new level this weekend with a rooftop remake performance of the Beatles’ “Don’t Let Me Down”. Bridget Kearney and the band not only nail the tune, but also the costumes.
Weather Report: Black Market (Live at Montreux 1976)
Weather Report’s “Black Market” was my introduction to the band. It was also my introduction to Jaco Pastorius and Alphonso Johnson. I’ve seen this video many times, but we’ve never shared it here: their live performance of “Black Market” at Montreux.
Craig Macfadyen: Dean Town/Teen Town Mashup
For years, we’ve seen many bassists taking on Jaco Pastorius’ “Teen Town”. Over the past four years, we’ve seen the same with Vulfpeck’s “Dean Town”. Craig Macfadyen decided to mashup the two, and we were completely knocked out by how he did it.
LNSO Double Bass Orchestra: Fantasia & Toccata (for 16 Double Basses)
Our friend Dimitris Maronidis sent us this video, and he clearly knows what we’re all about. Here’s the LNSO Double Bass Orchestra – with 16 bassists – performing Maronidis’ “Fantasia & Toccata” live for Radio 3 LV.
Zander Zon: He’s a Pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean)
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a video by Zander Zon, but he’s back with a new and incredible bass arrangement. In this one, Zander takes on “He’s a Pirate” from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” soundtrack.
Blues Beatles: Bass Solo + Sax Solo
We’ve featured quite a few videos by the Blues Beatles before, but this one might be our favorite so far. In this clip, the band’s bassist Bruno Falcão takes an extended solo before he’s joined saxophonist Denilson Martins for an epic jam.
Gonzalo Grau & La Clave Secreta, feat. MV Caldera: Las Cajas
It’s always a good day when Panagiotis Andreou shares a new video. This time, the timba master is performing “Las Cajas” with Gonzalo Grau y La Clave Secreta, a band which he describes as a “stellar line up of Latin music world standards.”
The Main Squeeze: Cold Blood
It’s simple: I see a new video by The Main Squeeze, and I hit play. From their album, “12345”, here’s the video for the second track, “Cold Blood.”
GroundUP Music with Becca Stevens, Bokanté, Alina Engibaryan And More: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
I’ve always loved the Tiny Desk series, and I am glad they were able to keep it going during these trying times. Here’s a new “Home” video with musicians from GroundUP Music, including Chris Tordini and Michael League. What a fantastic mix of music!
