Karl Clews just sent us his latest, and it is killer. Karl took Stanley Clarke’s classic “School Days” and turned it into an all-bass arrangement.

I’m a huge fan of the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, which helped me discover The True Loves. And now I’ve spent a lot of time listening to both groups, which share a few members. Here’s their performance of “Mary Pop Poppins,” at KEXP’s studios in October 2017, with Bryant Moore on bass. (The track is available on Bandcamp, as part...

Jerzy Six took on an ambitious project: transcribing Michael Manring’s “Sung to Sleep” and arranging it as a solo piccolo bass piece. The song was originally recorded as a piano piece for Manring’s 1988 album, A Winter’s Solstice II.

A few weeks ago, Zander Zon shared his arrangement of the Elvis Presley tune, “Can’t Help Falling In Love.” That inspired him to tackle another classic: “Unchained Melody.” “My parents grew up [in the sixties], so I heard all these hits as a kid; I always wanted to arrange this one on bass and it works really well in standard...

I received Vulfpeck’s Mr Finish Line on vinyl recently, and I’ve been spinning it ever since. Here’s the most recent video release for the track, “Business Casual.” I love the vocals on this one, and as always, the bass playing of Joe Dart.

We don’t often get emails from pianists, but that changed with a note from Lao Tizer, who shared his latest video. This is the premiere video for The Lao Tizer Band, and a track from their upcoming CD & DVD combo release, Songs From The Swinghouse. The album features two bassists: Cheikh N’Doye on ngoni bass and Ric Fierabracci on...

Last year we featured Sanne Verbogt’s awesome microtonal bass from Roks Instruments. Now she’s released a new video demonstrating it on a pop song. “In my study to explore the use of microtones in Western music I chose a pop/dance song to make an arrangement for microtonal (quartertone) bass guitar. The song of choice is a personal favourite: Kygo’s remix...

The Wood Brothers visited WFUV in January to perform some of their songs from their new album, One Drop of Truth. Here’s their performance of the album’s opening track, “River Takes The Town,” with Chris Wood laying down the low end.

“Don’t Worry Be Happy” has to be one of the catchiest tunes of all time. Once you hear it, it’s stuck in your head. That’s one of the reasons why bassist Thomas Laffont decided to channel the song through his bass. Another reason is that he’s a huge Bobby McFerrin fan. Accompanied by drummer Arthur Billès, Laffont puts a little...

Good news! Lake Street Dive’s new album, Free Yourself Up, is releasing on May 4th. Even better, we get a sneak peek with this new video from the band performing the track “Good Kisser” live. As always, Bridget Kearney masterfully handles the bass and backing vocals. The album is .

Lorenzo Feliciati always impresses me with his sense of space and texture. Here’s a great example of that with a video for “Grey and Red.” Feliciati builds the song with loops and effects to create an atmosphere like a movie soundtrack.

I always enjoy receiving new videos from Marcelo Yakko, and he once again showed me why with his latest, “Summer Loop.” Marcelo describes it as a “Simple theme with idea of development for loop… that belongs to a collection I will present in video clips … only with the electric bass and the loopera.” The song and the video are...
