Christian Sturgess: Brutai’s “Of Ashes” Bass Playthrough
Earlier this year, we were knocked out by bassist Christian Sturgess as he ripped through his band Brutai’s track “Onyx“. Now he’s back with another gritty play along for the song “Of Ashes” from their upcoming debut album, Born. Sturgess uses a gnarly overdrive, power chords, and tapping to keep the song super heavy.
Prince’s Bassists: Musicology
Last month, musicians from throughout Prince’s career came together for an official tribute concert in Minneapolis. The star studded event was anchored by five of the Purple One’s bass colleagues: Sonny T from New Power Generation, Ida Nielsen from NPG/3rdEyeGirl, Andrew Gouche from NPG, Josh Dunham from NPG, and MonoNeon. In a beautiful moment, all five bassists performed together on...
La Vague: Little Village
Alessandro Corsi sent us the latest video from his band La Vague for the song “Little Village”. The bassist lays down an awesome bass line while simultaneously taking care of accompanying chords. Who needs a guitar, anyway?
Ben Allison Trio: Pony Express
Ben Allison has a new album out with saxophonist Ted Nash and guitarist Steve Cardenas called The Quiet Revolution, and it’s sublime. Modeled after the drummerless trios of Jimmy Giuffre and Jim Hall, the band’s configuration allows for freedom while pushing each member to get creative. Here’s a video of the trio performing Giuffre’s “Pony Express” with Allison starting things...
Federico Malaman and Marco Venturini: At Last
Federico Malaman joined vocalist Marco Venturini in the studio to record their own version of “At Last.” The iconic tune was made popular by Etta James in 1960. We love the what these two did with the song, including Federico’s jam at the end.
Eduardo Machado: Dançando na chuva
Eduardo Machado gets down on this video with his trio, which features pianist Gil Reis and drummer Marcio Bahia. These guys bring it!
Karl Clews: “Stayin’ Alive” for Solo Bass
Karl Clews always impresses with his all-bass covers. This time around, he gets down with the Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive”. Bonus points for the apparel too.
Anthony Vitti and John Patitucci: Forgotten Groove Yard #9
In episode #9 of Anthony Vitti’s Forgotten Groove Yard, he teamed up with John Patitucci for this terrific bass duo. We love it how John gets right into the groove, as soon as the drum track starts. “This time we switch parts and John takes the solo while I play the groove,” Anthony shared. “The Master is on fire!” Indeed.
Bassbaba Sumon: Cancer Casserole
Bassbaba Sumon sent us his brand new instrumental music video for the tune “Cancer Casserole”. The tune is on his latest album, Soul Food (Part 1). This one rocks!
Bravo Victor: Cornflowers Wild
Here’s a new bass and vocal duo making their debut. Bassist Jono Burgess shared this video with us of the duo known as Bravo Victor (they say “The B is for Bass and the V is for Voice”). Sophie Aked is the vocalist. We’re big fans of great bass and vocal duos, and we’re looking forward to a lot more...
House of Waters: 17
One of my favorite musical discoveries of 2016 was finding House of Waters. They’re such a unique band. Here’s the trio, with Moto Fukushima on bass, performing the tune “17”, from their self-titled .
