The Tedeschi Trucks Band has an annual residency at the Beacon Theatre, and they like to make it special every year. On the final night of the run this year they brought Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio out for the epic Allman Brothers song “Mountain Jam.” Fans were treated to a spectacular bass solo from Tim Lefebvre during the jam that...

Mike Stern and his band took the stage at Jazz à Vienne in 2011, along with guest Didier Lockwood on violin. Here they are performing “Tipatina’s,” which appeared on Stern’s 1999 album, Play. Bassist Tom Kennedy plays a fierce bass line throughout, with Dave Weckl on drums.

No Treble reader Ruud sent us this video of a bassist who goes by Bunzing, who took Vulfpeck’s “Dean Town” and Weather Report’s “Teen Town,” and arranged it into a single tune. “I used the rhythm of Jaco’s part and wrote new notes for it to fit Dean Town’s chord progression. It turned out to be quite difficult to play,”...

Frank Zappa’s 1977 performance at the Palladium Theater offered up some incredible concert footage. This remastered video of “Black Napkins” shows the band in top form. The line up included Patrick O’Hearn on bass, Terry Bozzio on drums, Adrian Belew on guitar, Ed Mann on percussion, and Tommy Mars and Peter Wolf on keys. Great googly moogly!

Former Unexpect bassist ChaotH (aka Frederick Filiatrault) has a new band called Vvon Dogma I.

Zander Zon is a huge fan of Hans Zimmer, especially his collaborations with Christopher Nolan on movies. Inception is one of them, as well as Interstellar (check out his Interstellar Medley video we shared last month). So Zander took on a big project: creating his own special arrangement of “Time” from Inception using bass, cello, samples, and more. “In addition...

The band is set to release their debut, Psychotic Symphony, on October 20th. Here’s a video for...

I stumbled upon this video from 90.9 The Bridge, and I was glad I did. Lake Street Dive performed their own great version of The Kinks’ tune, “Lola,” with Bridget Kearney holding down the low end and backing vocals. We dig this! How about you?

When we shared Stuart Clayton’s first Bass Lick of the Week, it was a huge hit. Here’s the second installment. Stuart shares the background on this lick: “This week’s exercise is a fingerstyle line that uses major and minor tenth intervals to imply chordal parts alongside a bassline. It was performed on a Fender Precision Bass, strung with flatwound strings.”...

Double bassist Danny Ziemann gets a huge tone while leading his quintet on the classic Milt Jackson tune “SKJ”. He also kicks off the solo section with a super lyrical solo to set up the song’s vibe.
