The Dillinger Escape Plan’s songs are extremely heavy and notoriously complex, so when bassist Michal Jahoda sent in a drum and bass cover of the song “Panasonic Youth”, I wasn’t sure how it would come out. “If you like strange grooves and weird solos, our new cover video is something for you,” Jahoda wrote. “All guitar and bass parts from...

EMGtv has a great video in their archives of Bobby Vega, Prairie Prince and Chris Rossbach performing “Chicken And Waffles”. And here it is!

A video has been making the rounds on Facebook, thanks to Freemont’s Office – and it was quite unexpected. Dudley Moore and Kenny Rogers performed “Satin Doll” on The Tonight Show (date unknown). What surprised us all was that Rogers was on double bass. During his solo, Rogers proclaims “I can’t play!”, but he handled it better than we would...

Emile Nelson shared this video with us saying “I just uploaded a live video from my album launch and thought it might be fun to share. It’s an original song with a 6/8 afro cuban groove. It’s quite a challenge to sing and play this one and make it feel good.” We dig the tune and that tone!

Vulfpeck has released another video of a track from their debut full-length album – and it is one of our favorites. Joe Dart really lays it down on this one. If you dig this, you should check out our bass transcription for the tune, by Alasdair McLachlan.

As in most of the world, politics in the UK have taken some strange twists and turns this year and it deeply affected bassist Steve Lawson.

Also a Ditto x4 by TC Electronics for a reverse effect of a pre-recorded slide at 1:58.” He had us at...

Stuart Hamm has been killing it on the road this year with solo and band tours. While he’s been touring behind his latest album, The Book of Lies, he has also been mixing in some of his older tunes for a career spanning experience. Here’s a clip of Hamm and his bandmates Jeff Bowders and Randy McStine tackling “Black Ice”...

Oscar Pettiford’s “Tricotism” has been a benchmark melody for bassists since the bebop heavyweight wrote it in 1954. Today we’re checking out a superb bass and vocal version of the tune performed by Cyrille Aimée and Sam Anning. Our friend Dylan Kuerschner sent the clip in saying our readers might like it, and I have to agree. Each musician nimbly...

We’ve featured some videos by Maddie Jay with her band, The pH Collective before. I recently got a Facebook note from Jeannette Lough – Maddie’s mom. “Just wondering if you have had a chance to see this yet (proud mom – I really love this re-imagination),” Jeannette shared. The song is what Maddie calls “a re-imagination of a 1996 classic...

Esperanza Spalding recently visited the Skype Live Studio for 101.9 KINK FM’s broadcast and performed “Unconditional Love”. The song appears on Spalding’s fifth album, Emily’s D+Evolution.

Here’s a great clip of The Meters live in 1974 on Dr. John’s “New Orleans Swamp.” The group tears into “Look-ka Py Py” before a cool transition into the slower, thicker “Jungle Man”....
