I was lucky enough to catch Christian McBride’s New Jawn at Blues Alley in DC a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been reeling ever since. The band’s raw energy and unfettered power left me inspired (and waiting for their new album to drop). The New Jawn has no chordal instrument, leaving plenty of room for exploration and stretching. Consequently, it...

Time for another funky new video from Cory Wong, from his new album, The Optimist. Once again, Sonny T lays it down with a groovy slap line.

GroundUP Music shared an exciting new video by Banda Magda recently, from Banda Magda’s 2017 album, . The song, written by vocalist Magda Giannikou, features Andres Rotmistrovsky on bass, along with the Banda Magda String Orchestra and band.

Over the summer, TEC Awards posted this clip from the 2018 NAMM TEC Awards show in Anaheim, and it is a gem. Legendary Asylum Records “house band” The Section – with Craig Doerge, Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, and Russ Kunkel – backed Jackson Browne on his 1977 hit “Running On Empty.”

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.
