Leonid & Friends: Saturday In The Park
Here’s another fantastic cover by bassist Leonid Vorobyev and his Leonid & Friends Chicago tribute band. This time around, the band performs “Saturday In The Park.” As always, they nailed it.
Scott and Evan Varney: Subterranean Homesick Alien
Everyone loves a good Radiohead tune. Here’s a cool version of “Subterranean Homesick Alien” performed by bassist Scott Varney with his son Evan on tenor saxophone. Scott sings and fills out the song with the bass line and harmony while Evan adds melodies from the song. “This version is inspired by David Ryan Harris and Bob Reynolds version,” Scott writes....
Snarky Puppy: Shofukan (Live)
Back in 2014, Snarky Puppy released We Like It Here. Here’s a live performance of one of the songs on that album, entitled “Shofukan,” which as always features band leader Michael League on bass. As we shared when the album was released, the album was recorded live in Kytopia Studios in Utrecht, Holland from Oct. 7-10, 2013, and the record...
Olivier Babaz: On The Sunny Side of the Street
Get ready to chill out. Olivier Babaz offers up a nice relaxing arco version of the jazz standard “On The Sunny Sunny Side Of The Street” in this new video. Besides some nice phrasing, Babaz gets a big, warm tone that matches the song’s chill vibe.
YYNOT: Invisible Heart
Fresh off their big debut concert in LA, here’s our favorite Rush-inspired band and their latest original, “Invisible Heart.” Tim Starace as always lays down some seriously gritty bass.
Jason Matthews: Liberty City
It has been a while since we featured a video by Jason Matthews. In this clip, Jason takes on a beast of a tune: Jaco Pastorius’ “Liberty City,” from Invitation. Jason says, “…in my opinion the best version of this tune. This has been stuck in my head almost constantly for the past 15 years or so.”
Absurdcus: Hey Now
Absurdcus has a new video, and it is spectacular. Here’s his arrangement of London Grammar’s “Hey Now.” He said “all sounds made with basses,” which is the way we like it.
War: The Cisco Kid
I’ve been on a real War kick this week, which was kicked off by watching this clip of the band from The Midnight Special in 1973. “The Cisco Kid” is a simple but fun song, and bassist B.B. Dickerson lays into it with tons of pocket.
Widespread Panic & Tedeschi Trucks Band: You Can’t Always Get What You Want
I love how the Tedeschi Trucks Band loves to collaborate with other artists and bands. Here they are performing the Stones’ classic “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with Widespread Panic in Birmingham, Alabama last year. Bassist Dave Schools lays down the perfect groove behind the tune, with some great musicianship all around.
KNOWER: Overtime
KNOWER has returned with a new live band version of their track “Overtime”, and it’s a killer. The duo of Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi are joined by keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte, saxophonist Sam Gendel, and bassist Sam Wilkes. Wilkes (who No Treble readers may remember from the Scary Pockets version of Creep) is an absolute beast in the clip. He...
King Crimson: Heroes
In 2016, King Crimson performed at the Admiralspalast in Berlin. They included a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” in the set. Robert Fripp had this to say about the performance: “King Crimson performed Heroes at the Admiralspalast in Berlin as a celebration, a remembrancing and an homage. The concert was thirty nine years and one month after the original sessions...
You Bred Raptors?: Lux Aeterna
You Bred Raptors? recently wrapped up a tour in support of their new album, . While out on the road, they made this killer cover of “Lux Aeterna”, which many will recognize as the theme song to Requiem for a Dream. The trio tackles the haunting song with bassist Peat Rains laying down several parts of the song, building it...
