Jesús Rico Pérez: Ana
Jesús Rico Pérez has released a new album, Scars II. Here he is performing “Ana”, the second track from the album on 6-string fretless. Once again, a beautiful composition and performance by the solo bassist. The album is available on Bandcamp.
3 Sudacas: Tarde de Abril
3 Sudacas is a trio consisting of vocalist/percussionist Nella Rojas, bassist/vocalist Esther Rojas and guitarist/vocalist Eduardo Mercuri. Here they are performing their original tune, “Tarde de Abril.” Love the song and that bass tone!
Adam Ben Ezra Trio: Beyond The Wall
Adam Ben Ezra is a man best known to us as a solo bassist. But that’s quickly changed with the introduction of his Trio – and their new album – this year. Here’s the Trio performing “Beyond The Wall”, the 11th track from Can’t Stop Running. Adam said he composed this song specifically for the trio. Amazing performance, beautiful composition.
Talking Heads: Take Me To The River, Live 1980
I recently came across a great full-length concert video of the Talking Heads, and it got me moving. Taken from their November 1980 performance at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, the band is in rare form with Tina Weymouth sharing bass duties with Busta “Cherry” Jones. Other members of the touring band include soon-to-be King Crimson member Adrian...
Carol Kaye: Boogaloo
Today’s video isn’t really a video, but we don’t care. Once you hear Carol Kaye laying it down, we don’t think you’ll mind either. This is “Boogaloo,” from Kaye’s Picking UP on the E String album.
Zawinul Syndicate with Gerald Veasley: Carnavalito
The Zawinul Syndicate performed at the Munich Philharmonie in Germany in 1989. Featuring Scott Henderson on guitar, Gerald Veasley on bass, Cornell Rochester on drums, Bill Summers on percussion, and Leata Galloway and Carl Anderson on background vocals, here’s the group performing “Carnavalito”. The tune originally recorded on the album. If you like that, check out the version we shared...
Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon: Bye Bye Blues
Time for one of the greats. Here’s Willie Dixon laying it down (and singing) on “Bye Bye Blues”, along with Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson and Memphis Slim. Timeless!

Carl Mörner Ringström Trio: Silent Night
Here’s a version of “Silent Night” like you’ve never heard before. Guitarist Carl Mörner Ringström teamed up with bassist Johannes Zetterberg and drummer Jonathan Lundberg to make this intense yet relaxed version of the carol. Zetterberg lays down the groove on a beautiful six-string fretless before taking the lead at the 1:38 mark. The track is available as a free...
Tony Grey: Carol of the Bells
We’re getting into the holiday spirit with some bass videos, including this new arrangement of “Carol of the Bells” by Tony Grey. The bassist creates an ambient soundscape with the song’s lulling melody before taking a beautiful solo over top. Light the tree, sit back and enjoy. Grey is offering the track as a free download on his website.
Galactic Empire: Star Wars Theme
Star Wars buzz is in the air, so we thought we’d celebrate with this fun video by the band known as Galactic Empire. I mean, come on – a Stormtrooper (Atrium Audio’s Carson Slovak) playing bass? That’s just too hard to pass up. And the break in the middle is just plain awesome.
