Jason Everett sent me this video the other day, and I am really digging the sound. “‘Playing With Fire’ is the first live recording by Deep Energy Orchestra. This super-group showcases prog-phenom Trey Gunn (King Crimson) and Indian percussion master Selvaganesh (John McLaughlin, Masters of Percussion),” he shared. The tune was written by Jason, who also brought in a Seattle-based...

Scary Pockets is back with a new, funky (and chill) cover, taking on The Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses.” Joined by guest vocalist Suzy Jones, the band is once again backed by bassist Sam Wilkes.

Cody Fry and Dynamo recently released this live video performance of “Better,” and it has some people talking about how the band’s sound reminds them of a pop-oriented Snarky Puppy. Zachariah Witcher is the bassist on the track, and it seems guitarist and musical guest Cory Wong must basically live in the studio.

Prophets of Rage have released a new video called “The Ballot or the Bullet” that teases their upcoming album with a mashup of three unreleased tracks plus the new single “Heart Afire.” Taken from a Malcolm X speech about black voter rights, the video is a reminder of the importance of voting. “There are people trying to keep many of...

Vulfpeck shared another song from their upcoming album, Hill Climber. Part of the announcement stated “Joe Dart on upright bass.” So of course, I clicked immediately and had a good laugh.

We have another jaw-dropping video premiere for you today, this time from the Jonathan Scales Fourchestra. The band, led by steel pan player Scales, has always been stocked with killer bassists. (Just check the archives.) This live performance of “The Trap” features band member E’Lon JD with special guest Dywane “MonoNeon” Thomas, Jr., who also appeared on the song for...

The Blues Beatles is a favorite around here, and this video features the band performing a concert live at Vicentina Aranha Park in Brazil. Once again, Bruno Falcão handles the bass (and some backing vocals) on the band’s unique covers of Beatles tunes.

Nenad Vasilic sent us this video from a studio session he did recently in Vienna for his upcoming solo bass album coming out next year. As always, Nenad blows us away with his musicianship and technique!

I received an advanced copy of Aaron Gibson’s new album, Horror Films and Sunday School, and I’ve been spinning it quite a bit. I’ve always loved Aaron’s music, and the addition of strings on this (plus some great guest appearances) make this one extra special. Our friends at BassTheWorld.com have debuted Aaron’s first video in support of the record, with...

Elvin Bironien and his band, The MAP, released a killer video a couple of weeks ago, featuring the bassist’s arrangement of the Marius Cultier tune, “Diamant.” Be sure to check out Bironien’s solo!

Hey, it’s Saturday, so that means we can enjoy an extended video. Pitchfork Live shared this performance of Khruangbin from their live session at Villain in Brooklyn, which was in support of the band’s second album, . Laura Lee holds down the low end behind the band’s unique sound. Here’s the song list for the session: 00:38: Cómo Me Quieres...

We’re proud to premiere a new playthrough video from Obscura bassist Linus Klausenitzer for the title track from their latest album. Diluvium, which is defined as a great oceanic flood, is the fourth and final part of their conceptual cycle. It is also their most evocative, diverse and vibrant release to date. Klausenitzer’s 6/7-string fretless bass sound is an important...
