Simon Fitzpatrick is back with another epic video. In this one, he pays tribute to the late great Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Fitzpatrick tackles the melody from the band’s version of Aaron Copland’s “Hoedown” on his Sei Bass Flamboyant 6 bass.

The B’ANG Duet, comprised of double bass monsters Petros Klampanis and Or Bareket, have unleashed their second offering with their take on the classic Jaco Pastorius song “Teen Town”. It’s already a feat to play the blistering melody on upright, but the two bassists make it look easy while using a shaker and loop pedal to fill out the whole...

Here’s a great clip of Richard Bona performing a live bass solo. So tasty. I love saxophonist Stefano di Battista’s reaction to his playing throughout.

I love it when my favorite players collaborate, and this clip is a great example of why. First, Mr. Talkbox covered Vulfpeck’s “Back Pocket” and posted it online. Then the unbelievably talented Dywane “MonoNeon” Thomas, Jr. added his own distinct style to it. Finally, Vulfpeck’s own Jack Stratton took the video and added a bit of his own funky self...

Tim Carey sent along his latest with vocalist Amanda Taylor. This time, the duo perform a cover of the Sara Bareilles tune, “Bottle It Up”. “I use kind of a hybrid slap style mixed with some two handed stuff for most of it, then some quick triplet picking stuff in the bridge,” he told us. “This one also features a...

Andreas D Fammé shared this video in response to us featuring Dirty Loops recently. The Feelgood Orchestra is a band from Norway who took what Andreas said was “the most streamed song in 2015 (“Lean On”), and made it their own. The tune was originally released by Major Lazer & DJ Snake (featuring MØ). Love the bass, the horns, and...

Esperanza Spalding released her fifth album, Emily’s D+Evolution, earlier this month. Here’s the official video for “One” from the new album. Love that bass tone and the vocals – as always.

Mark Egan recently shared a clip of Eric Clapton, Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, Steve Gadd, and Joe Sample in a live performance in 1997. That got me digging, and I found this gem from the performance. Marcus is laying down some sweet lines on fretless and trading licks with Clapton, on the tune “Suggestions”.

It has been a while since we’ve seen a video by Dirty Loops. The wait is over. Here’s the band – anchored by bassist Henrik Linder – performing “Over the Horizon”. So glad to see them back, and in color.

Dave Swift shared this video on Facebook, and within seconds, it had my moving in my seat. I’m betting it’ll do the same for you. This is Edwin Starr on Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny performing “War”, featuring Swift on bass. “This is one of my personal favourite performances from ‘Later… with Jools Holland’,” Swift shared. “Sadly no longer with us....

Here’s pianist Shaun Martin and his band performing “The Yellow Jacket”, one of the tracks on his album, Seven Summers. Keith Taylor lays down the low end on this one. Great tune, great band, and a tasty bass solo on this one. If you dig it, the album is .

Former Mudvayne bassist Ryan Martinie has a new trio with guitarist Bon Lozaga and drummer Mitch Hull called Soften The Glare. It’s not in the same vein as his previous outfit, but the group has some serious attitude. The trio, who lists their genre as Instrumental/Prog/Jazz/Rock/Funk/Chaos on their Facebook page, bring equal parts funkiness and heaviness to their song “Controlled...
