Timothy Perkins: The Lonely Man Theme
Timothy Perkins sent us this cool video for “The Lonely Man Theme”, and it’s impressive. The bassist brings it all to the table for the high and lonesome melody, including his five-string, his double bass, and a fretless. The playing is fantastic and the song itself will get stuck in your head.
Young Pandas: Keep On
Young Pandas are back with a new video from sessions they did last year. Bassist Kyle Nagel shared this one, with the back story: “This one even has a little bass feature in it about halfway through. I’m once again playing my Lakland Hollowbody with flats and Bartolini pickups. We also took a cue from D’Angelo and added some big...
Gregory Porter: Holding On, Live In Berlin
I’m a big Gregory Porter fan, so I was excited to hear he has a new coming out in November. The jazz vocalist is once again joined by bassist Jahmal Nichols, who plays beautifully crafted lines to perfection. This clip of “Holding On” is a great example with the bassist sitting just right in the pocket for most of the...
Vulfpeck: Dean Town
It is always a good day at No Treble HQ when a new Vulfpeck video is released. This one has lots of extra bass goodness – and funkiness – thanks to Joe Dart and some killer beats. The tune is “Dean Town”, which is a track from Vulfpeck’s upcoming album, The Beautiful Game, due to be released on October 17th.
The Rolling Stones: Miss You
Ever since a new Darryl Jones documentary was announced, I’ve been listening to lots of the bassist’s work on YouTube. Here’s a great extended take of “Miss You” taken from 1995, just two years after he joined the Rolling Stones. Jones carries the groove throughout with rock solid time and feel while Mick Jagger gets into his stage antics.
Andrea Caggiari: James Brown Funk Bass Lines
Bassist Andrea Caggiari emailed me this terrific video where he plays along to seven different James Brown tunes. Of course, this one gets funky, thanks to the original lines by Bernard Odum, Bootsy Collins, Fred Thomas, Gordon Edwards and Sweet Charles Sherrell. Here’s the track list: Cold Sweat Soul Power Super Bad Talkin Loud And Say Nothing Make it Funky...
Shaun Martin: Lotus
We always love sharing a clip of Shaun Martin’s band, and music from his album, . Here’s the track “Lotus”, with bassist Keith Taylor laying down some sweet bass. The whole tune is great, but things really get going around the 3-minute mark.
Anthony Crawford: Jazz vs Hiphop
Bassist Anthony Crawford shared this on his Facebook page and it immediately caught my attention. He recorded it as a demo for his Mirura MB-2 bass, and the song is just as stunning as the bass. The story behind the music is incredible, too. “This is a song from my last album, Urban Jazz/My Story,” Crawford explains. “I call the...
Andrea De Donato, Lucia Sargenti and Stefano Ferraro: Let’s Stay Together
Bassist Andrea De Donato sent me this video of a performance he did with vocalists Lucia Sargenti and Stefano Ferraro. The trio perform Al Green’s hit “Let’s Stay Together” with some excellent bass work by Andrea.
House of Waters: Sense
Back in August, we shared House of Waters’ video, “In Waves“, which generated enough views to make the top 10 for the month. Here’s another terrific video by the band, which features Moto Fukushima on bass, Max ZT on Hammered Dulcimer and Luke Notary on percussion. Read about this exciting band in the link above, and enjoy this video, “Sense”.
Chris Dave Trio: Criss Cross
As bass players, we know the groove is paramount. That’s why this clip of Foley laying down a killer bass line while drum master Chris Dave changes the feel over and over is incredible. Foley, who played with Miles Davis from 1987 to 1991, gets into a trance on his line while Dave and saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev play with and...
VoBa Sound Experience: Eleanor Rigby
The last time we featured VoBa Sound Experience, they performed Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused”. Bassist Roberto Pace shared the duo’s latest, with them performing their unique take on The Beatles tune “Eleanor Rigby”. Roberto is joined by vocalist Chiara D’Emilio, who also handles the loops on this tune.
