Alex Bershadsky has teased his upcoming album with a new video for the song, “POP-001”. Besides the bassist’s incredible strumming and slap playing, the tune features heavyweight musicians with guitarist Oz Noy, drummer Nathaniel Townsley, and vocalist Kama Kamila. If this is any indicator of its direction, we’re really looking forward to the new album!

From Snarky Puppy’s live DVD/CD , here’s the band with guest vocalist Jayne Brown performing “I’ll Do Me.” This one has a ton of soul, with Michael League laying it down.

Ivo Schot, aka Fortheloveofbass, is back again with a new collaboration. In his fourth bass and vocal song, he teams up with the Dutch artist Storksky for a version of the song “Fracas Maracas.” “[It’s] a rock tune with a lot of grit,” Schot shares. “The song features a 1956 Danelectro Longhorn bass, which is the oldest bass I’ve ever...

Marcus Miller’s “Blast” is one of my favorite tunes. So I was thrilled to see this trio – anchored by bassist Leslie Johnson – performing their own version. Joined by guitarist Dave Giraldo and drummer Jay Jackson, Leslie not only handles the great bass line, he also plays keys on the track. Dig it.

Hold onto your hats, because this isn’t your typical jazz duo. The Bass Coalition Summer Workshop wrapped up this year with a stunning recital by guest artist and jazz legend Lynn Seaton. For the finale, he invited Donovan Stokes to join him for a special version of his song “Patrician Commission”. Both double bassists got gnarly with distortion pedals to...

Jason Raso sent us this video of him performing a tune he wrote and performed using three basses, a guitar and a drum track. “Last week I was fortunate enough to visit the Fodera shop in Brooklyn.

A few month’s ago we featued Kinga Glyk’s excellent solo bass performance of “Tears In Heaven”. Here’s Kinga with her band performing “Hope” in promotion of her new album, Happy Birthday – Live. Once again, we’re blown away.

You may have seen the story we posted on Sunday about Victor Wooten recording with a new progressive metal band known as Octavision. (Note: as you’ll see in the comments of that article, there’s dispute to Victor being a “member”, despite the band’s presentation on their Facebook page, but I digress.) Late last night, Octavision released the video for their...

Drummer Robert “Sput” Searight and percussionist Nate Werth are already in a killer band (Snarky Puppy). Seems like that isn’t enough for them, so they created another – Ghost-Note. For Ghost-Note, Searight and Werth teamed up with bassist MonoNeon, second drummer Alvin Ford Jr., xylosynth player Nick Werth and saxophonist/flautist Sylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka II. Here’s the band performing “Can’t Get...

Bassist Laszlo Demeter, aka “absurdcus”, has released a new video for the song “Murmurations pt.2” from his solo album, A Drop of Calm. Layered basses create a beautiful sonic tapestry that support the song’s soaring melodies. The video also has an artistic twist. “The Prisma-like filter app is called Artisto, it only does 10 seconds of video, so I had...

NFL football officially kicks off this weekend, and we thought we’d celebrate bass-style, thanks to Chris LaBenne, who sent us this video. “It’s an all-bass multitrack cover of the ‘NFL on FOX’ theme,” Chris said. “I was excited for football season to start and figured what better way to break in my piccolo bass strings? It was a hell of...

Here’s a great live clip from David Bowie’s 1978 tour with George Murray laying it down on bass. The band – which also features guitarist Adrian Belew – performs “Station to Station” in this video.
