Zander Zon is back with another video featuring his new harp bass, built by Barton Basses. Zander describes this one as “The Most HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL Movie Theme.” His control over the instrument – and the music – is just flat out amazing.

We were sad to learn the news of Chicago blues guitarist Otis Rush’s passing this week. Here’s a great clip of the blues legend in 1966 performing “I Can’t Quit You Baby” (a tune written by the great Willie Dixon). Jack Myers is laying it down, and looking quite cool doing it. RIP, Mr. Rush.

Check out our good friend Federico Malaman rocking and grooving it out with the Dali Mraz Group in this live clip. The tune, “Kicks,” was written by Federico, who takes an awesome solo along the way.

To say we’re excited about Vulfpeck’s upcoming album, Hill Climber, would be an understatement. The excitement continues with another video showcasing the music we can expect. Here’s their latest, featuring a tune called “Soft Parade.” Joe Dart and the guys give a new definition for being a tight band in this one. The album is available for pre-order.

Jonathan Joly sent us a new video by his duo, What A Day. In this clip, Leah Gracie and Joly perform their unique cover of Stevie Wonder’s “For Once in My Life,” incorporating double bass, vocals, newspapers, a typewriter, and more to fill out the arrangement.

Mufaro hit the Berklee studios to record her original tune, “We Can Make A Change.” Backed by Carlo De Baggio on bass, this is one groovy tune!

We always love it when Stuart Clayton posts one of his “Giants of Bass” videos, and this clip is another great one. “This video is a performance of ‘A Nightmare… for the Fingers’, the Dream Theater/John Myung-style piece that I wrote for my 2017 book Giants of Bass. This track features some amazing musicians: Charlie Griffiths (Haken) on guitar, Jason...

Leonid & Friends has wowed us with their many Chicago covers in the past. Now they’re changing things up with a stellar cover of Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September.” As always, Leonid Vorobyev holds down the low end.

I spotted this video of John Mayer performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I was in a hurry, so I almost skipped it. Then I realized Pino Palladino was on the bill, which of course made it required viewing.

Zycopolis TV just shared footage from one of Miles Davis’ last performances, which took place on July 1st, 1991 at the Jazz à Vienne Festival. Miles’ band at the time featured two bassists: Foley McCreary (on “lead” bass) and Richard Patterson. In this clip, the band performs their take on Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature.”

My friend TJ Turqman shared this video on Facebook of his band Novo, and it knocked me out. Here’s the band performing “Wine Clouds.” (Did I mention how much I dig this sound?)

Simone Masina sent us a new video for his duo Peekaboom (with vocalist Angelica Lubian.) “We made another clip from our live in-studio session,” Simone shared. “The song is ‘Blackbird’ (our first version was one of the most popular videos on your site in 2016) and I get to take a double bass solo in the middle of the song.”
