No Treble reader Ari-Pekka Kauppinen sent us this video of his new trio saying, “Our music is a blend of old school fusion with modern influences. Our band is all about fearless improvisation while having fun playing together and I think this video captures that attitude and joy nicely.” We’re digging this!

Zander Zon has a new tribute, featuring a new device he’s added to the mix. “The Cranberries are such a memorable band from my teenage years and, strangely, I had been listening to this song for a couple weeks before the sad news broke that their lead singer, Dolores O’Riordan, had passed away unexpectedly,” he shared. ” So I decided...

During the 2018 NAMM Show, Federico Malaman and Marcus Miller got together for a spontaneous jam at a Markbass event showcasing Marcus’s signature amp. Federico said, “For me, it was PURE JOY!!!”

Back in 2013, bassist Bart Soeters sent us an awesome clip of himself demoing 19 basses. Now he’s released “Bass Sounds II”, which has him jamming out on a whopping 34 basses. The video ranges in styles to showcase the strengths of each instrument, which range from vintage axes to modern works of art. Joris Holtackers accompanies Soeters on keys...

I saw a video by my friend Tunu Jumwa on Facebook recently, and I loved it. I asked if we could share it, and Tunu made it available for us. In this clip, Tunu performs an arrangement of the tune, “Malaika,” which she says is “an oldie around here.”

Adam Ben Ezra is back with a new video with his trio, and it is excellent as always. “Always a pleasure to get together with my band,” Adam shared. “Here we are performing the song ‘Silk Road’ at Luna studios in Tel Aviv.”

We love a good bass line compilation, and Nathan Navarro’s latest puts a cool spin on it. The bassist plays 100 riffs, but each riff gets faster as he goes. Starting with Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side”, he plays them in ascending order of notes per second, which is handily displayed in the top left-hand corner of the...

Evan Marien has shared another video from his show with drummer Dana Hawkins at Mondriaan Jazz. In this clip, the duo performs “OC,” which appeared on Marien’s Here We Are EP. These guys always bring it.

Last year we premiered the first Rooftop Stories series video by Petros Klampanis, and now we’re featuring the second installment. The video for “Alfonsina Y El Mar” starts with the precarious situation of getting a double bass onto a rooftop, but then it’s nothing but gorgeous views and music. “This is the second Rooftop Story, shot in East London. We...

Kung Fu bassist Chris DeAngelis makes some killer bass arrangements for his own YouTube channel, but this one may take the cake. In this clip he mashes up Squarepusher’s “Iambic 9 Poetry” with “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police. DeAngelis utilizes chords and harmonics to fill the piece out for a beautiful sonic atmosphere. He also...

Last year Erik Arkö made a pair of videos parodying the “12 types of metal bass players.” Now he’s back with part three, and it’s just as great. From “Les is More” to “The Folk Metal Guy,” Arkö has some fun with the genre. As with all good parodies, there’s a decent amount of truth to each spoof but no...

GroundUP Music continues to put up some incredible music. Here’s a new single from pedal steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier, who is releasing his upcoming album, Exit 16 in March. Michael League is both the producer and the bassist on the album. It also features Jason “JT” Thomas on drums and Bobby Sparks on keys. We can’t wait for this one...
