Vulfpeck was a guest on Chris Thile’s live radio variety show “Live from Here” recently. Among the tunes they played was “Dean Town,” which is one of our favorite showcases of the great Joe Dart. (There was also a lot of head bobbing.)

There’s been a real resurgence in the love for Queen in the past year, thanks in part to the incredible biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. We’ve been getting quite a few Queen cover videos, but this version of “The Show Must Go On” by What A Day captured my imagination.

TSF Jazz shared this cool improvised session by Marcus Miller as part of their “Live at Deli Express” series.

It is always great to see a new video show up by Leonid & Friends, and another one of their fantastic Chicago covers. In this one, Leonid Vorobyev and the band perform “Listen.”

Scary Pockets is back with a new video, and this time it is a funk mashup of the Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker” and Weezer’s “Undone – The Sweater Song.” Bassist Jon Flaugher joins the band on this one, along with guest vocalist Darren Criss.

The great people at Studio Jams shared this video from their archives, and it is fantastic. Here’s bassist Steve Forrest, drummer Roy “Futureman” Wooten, electric violinist Tracy Silverman and the late great guitarist Jef Lee Johnson performing their take on “In A Sentimental Mood.”

Here’s the Barely Jazz Ensemble with special guest Michael Manring performing “Something About Us.” The session took place at the Joe Henderson Lab in the SFJAZZ Center and offers up a great showcase for Michael’s soloing skills.

Vulfpeck has released another song from their upcoming album, Hill Climber, and it is super chill. “Love is a Beautiful Thing” was written by guitarist/vocalist Theo Katzman, who is joined by guest vocalist Monica Martin on the track. As always, Joe Dart lays down the low end behind the band.

Hanukkah has begun, and we’re celebrating with a great video from Alex Bershadsky. This time he created a solo bass arrangement of the famous Hanukkah song “Banu Choshech Legaresh,” which translates to “We Came to Drive Away the Darkness.” The bassist utilizes his incredible finger-style technique to play the melody and chords at once, then taking a solo over the...

I’ve been watching everything I can by The Main Squeeze lately, and this one knocked me out. Check out the band performing “Papa Was A Rolling Stone,” with Jeremiah Hunt doing some serious work on bass while also adding background vocals. This band is flat out amazing!

Kevin sent me this video of Funky Bizness Gang, who filmed this live performance of “I’m Getting Down” on the rooftop of Planetary Café in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Alex Nikolaeff, who we featured in Reader Spotlight back in 2017, backs the band with one funky bass line.

By random chance, I stumbled upon this beautiful video today. I hadn’t heard of Cande Buasso before, but her bass and vocals on this tribute to Luis Alberto Spinetta really caught my attention. This was recorded at the Bicentennial Theater in San Juan, Argentina.
