Multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier is a freak of nature, so it figures that his cover of Michael Jackson’s classic “PYT” would be just as out there. Collier – who arranged, performed, produced, filmed and edited the clip – included some off the wall bass licks and a thriller of a unison line with the keyboard.

Regardless of what happens with Rush in the future, we’re lucky to have so many albums – and videos – to enjoy. From their R40 Tour this year, here’s Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart performing “YYZ” – a song I think we can all agree is one of the all-time greats. This video comes from the they released...

Bassist Charles Berthoud shared this video he recorded with New Hampshire Bass Fest founder and Berklee instructor Jim Stinnett. The song is Charles’ original composition “I Wanna Be…,” which features some sweet fretless lines by Stinnett on top of Berthoud’s tap bass foundation.

Steve Lawson’s creative output stems from his in-the-moment style of playing. Instead of reshaping the music in the studio, he captures that energy for all of his albums by performing them live. That includes his latest, “The Way Home”, which features some soulful playing over a live loop. “A few people seem baffled by the idea that my latest two...

You may have heard that a new Star Wars film hits the big screen this week (as in, 1,000 times a day or more). Leave it to Zander Zon to combine some of our all-time favorites – bass, Star Wars and the music of John Williams – into one terrific video. “I’m a massive Star Wars fan and growing up...

Back in October, Esperanza Spalding performed with Emily’s D+Evolution on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The tune is “One”, and it is spectacular.

Snarky Puppy keyboardist Cory Henry joins drummer Keelan Jones in this funky performance of “Sunday Stroll”, recorded on November 29, 2014 from Jones’ . Tony Russell lays down a sweet a bass line on this one. Love the horns and that funky Moog!

Bassist Joanna Dudkowska sent us this video of the tune “The Beginning”. She told us she had just received her Marleaux Consat Custom and recorded this in celebration. Not only does she play that, but she puts down some nice fretless work as well.

Bassist Ivo Schot has released the second video from his “fortheloveofbass” series. This time, the bassist teams up with Marlon Penn for the singer’s own “Forsake Me.” Schot starts with a whispering bass line on a Höfner Club Bass to set the mood for Penn’s heartfelt vocals before switching to a Fender Jazz as things build up. The bass then...

Selah Poitier shared her latest video with us, and it is killer. In this clip, the bassist/vocalist performs her original, “I’ve Learned To Love Me,” live at Berklee. Love the old school vibe on this one. And dig that solo!

Franklin Peredo sent us his original composition, “Girasol Negro,” which features some gorgeous soundscapes created with incredible right hand technique. I had to watch this one a few times to catch everything he does.

Costantino Riemma does it all in this video featuring the bassist playing both bass and drums… at the same time. And wow, does he do it well. In this clip, Costantino covers a lot of musical ground with “Smoke On The Water,” “Billie Jean,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Enter Sandman”. Check out Costantino’s Facebook page for more.
