Wayne Brannon shared this video on the No Treble Facebook group, and it got my attention. “A little fun! From 1992, Primus appears as Bob Cock and His Yellow Socks for a jazzed up version of ‘Tommy The Cat’!” he wrote. Les Claypool’s bass line on the song is so iconic that hearing him take a different direction on the...

Mohini Dey is such a talent, and I’m always on the lookout for videos featuring this exciting bassist. Here’s a clip from the Garana Jazz Festival earlier this month which features Mohini alongside violinist Abhijith P S Nair, guitarist Sandeep Mohan, keyboardist Joe Johnson, and drummer Arun Roop in their performance of “Sa Ma Ga Pa.”

Pomplamoose recently shared this video, and it is a throwback of sorts. Bassist and vocalist Nataly Dawn described it this way: “Every now and then Jack and I do a stripped-down cover of something (like Nature Boy and Mrs. Robinson). So this is for all you folks who’ve been asking for more Old Pomplamoose and me on bass! Enjoy :)”...

Vaughan Gilligan shared this video on our Facebook group, and it is worthy of paying it forward. “Joe Dart came to my town the other day for a masterclass. He signed my bass and let me take a few pics with him! I got a vid of him playing ‘Dean Town’ for those interested,” Vaughan shared. Dart was joined on...

In my younger years, Jaco Pastorius and Jeff Berlin were two of the titans of bass I looked up to. So it was super cool to spot this video by Jeff talking about Jaco’s use of harmonics. I remember watching Modern Electric Bass back in the ’80s. Jerry Jemmott asked Jaco how he came to use harmonics in his playing....

Vulfpeck has just released a video of a tune from their album, Mr Finish Line, and this one is special. In addition to the groovy bass by the one and only Joe Dart, the track also features Bootsy Collins, Baby Theo, and Mushy Kay on vocals. Dig it.

The folks at R-11 Alternative Music sent us this video featuring Michele della Malva, who pays tribute to Vladiswar Nadishana and David Kuckhermann. Michele combines the use of a hang (drum) and a handpan, with his bass. We really dig the rhythmic nature of this tune.

We’re used to seeing (and sharing) excellent bass covers by Karl Clews. But this time, he’s doing his own thing with help from vocalist Troy Jackson. “Here’s something that Troy Jackson and I collaborated on a few weeks ago: I set myself the task of writing and recording an original song using just basses (in this case, a Palatino EUB...

It has been a while since we’ve seen a video from Jesús Rico Pérez, but he’s back. “This is my version of ‘Bràighe Loch Iall,’ a traditional Scottish tune, originally for bagpipes; I´ve arranged my way for fretless bass,” he shared. As always, Jesús plays masterfully, and dig that tone!

I first saw this video of a tune written by David Piggott on Facebook. I asked him if we could share it, and he made it available to us. The tune is called “Overcome”, and it is an exceptional duo between David and Martel Padgett.

Readers always get a kick out of the Blues Beatles and their re-imagined covers of Beatles’ tunes (we do too). Here’s the band performing “Love Me Do,” with some excellent bass playing and backing vocals by Bruno Falcão. I’m also digging the organ and the sax on this one.

The bass/vocal duo What A Day is back with a new song called “Last Calling.” As always, Jonathan Joly and Leah Gracie deliver gorgeous and haunting melodies overtop of Joly’s creative bass work.
