We’ve featured Richard Bona and Metropole Orkest before, with their take on the Jaco Pastorius tune, “Three Views of a Secret.” Here’s another terrific performance from that concert, with a performance of the tune, “Engigilaye.”

Berklee just shared this video of Sharon Renold, who performs this heartfelt bass and vocals cover of Oli Rockberger’s “The Garden”. We’re glad to discover Sharon, thanks to this video. And we’ll be looking for more.

Bassist Tobias Fleischer sent us this crazy (and awesome) video, with an equally awesome note: “Here’s my new band! I’ve been hired as ‘Fleischer Doria,’ chief scientist onboard the spaceship ‘The BootyJive.’ We’ve come all the way from planet Bayou 7 to bootyfy the milky way! The traditional bayounian song ‘SWINGBY’ is the first in a series of videos, each...

This one transported me back in time. Guitarist Matteo Mancuso shared this video of his project with bassist Riccardo Oliva and drummer Salvatore Lima, who took on the UZEB tune, “Penny Arcade.”

Daft Punk’s 2001 album Discovery is chockfull of catchy grooves. Here ViGitarS2dio and company cover the song “Aerodynamic” in a rock band setting. Laura Lace lays down the hypnotic groove on the bass, taking a quick solo version of it at the 2-minute mark.

Vocalist Nicki Gonzalez started the year with a bang. She’s just released a killer version of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” featuring an incredible cast of musicians, including bassist Hadrien Feraud. “HAPPY 2018, EVERYONE!,” she writes. “‘Thank you’ just doesn’t cut it. I owe this video to the talents, loyalty and dedication of Kamil Rustam and Hadrien Feraud who rallied...

Metal bassist Dino Fiorenza pulls out all the stops in this playthrough for the song “Biondology”. Beginning with some intense two-handed tapping, he incorporates sweep arpeggios, slap, and more to fill the song out.

Vulfpeck’s “Dean Town” is one of the all-time favorites around here. So it was super cool to see the band share this live performance of the tune, which took place during the “Wisdom of Crowds Tour 2017” in Dublin, Ireland. I was also super impressed with the audience, who pretty much sang it note for note and kept up with...

Level 42’s Mark King is a master of slap bass. His complex rhythmic and melodic bass lines are tough enough to tackle alone, but he manages to sing at the same time. The folks at Java Jazz Festival just shared this performance of “Something About You,” which took place in 2016. The band is in top form, and King’s performance...

Ben Titus and Brittany Frompovich took the stage at Roy Vogt’s 7th Annual Thunder Row Bass Invitational and performed this excellent bass and vocals cover of the Tedeschi Truck Band’s “These Walls.” Thanks to our friend, Vuyani Wakaba, for shooting the video, and to Brittany for sending it to us.

We’re kicking off the year right with a new track by Mike Brignardello with bass master Chuck Rainey, aptly entitled “New Years Day.” Brignardello wrote the song after participating in a yearly tradition with a third Nashville bassist. “It was inspired by an annual dinner that Victor Wooten has at his place on New Years Day,” he explains. “He gathers...

Bass and kalimba guru Olivier Babaz shared his latest video with us for his song “Cold & Bright”. Inspired by the first snow in his native Montreal, the track has Babaz wielding dual kalimbas to perform the melody while playing a bass line on his trusty upright.
