Dave Swift shared this video on Facebook, and within seconds, it had my moving in my seat. I’m betting it’ll do the same for you. This is Edwin Starr on Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny performing “War”, featuring Swift on bass. “This is one of my personal favourite performances from ‘Later… with Jools Holland’,” Swift shared. “Sadly no longer with us....

Here’s pianist Shaun Martin and his band performing “The Yellow Jacket”, one of the tracks on his album, Seven Summers. Keith Taylor lays down the low end on this one. Great tune, great band, and a tasty bass solo on this one. If you dig it, the album is .

Former Mudvayne bassist Ryan Martinie has a new trio with guitarist Bon Lozaga and drummer Mitch Hull called Soften The Glare. It’s not in the same vein as his previous outfit, but the group has some serious attitude. The trio, who lists their genre as Instrumental/Prog/Jazz/Rock/Funk/Chaos on their Facebook page, bring equal parts funkiness and heaviness to their song “Controlled...

On this day in 1951, Rocco Prestia was born, and we thought we’d celebrate with this old school clip of Tower of Power. Here’s the band performing “What Is Hip?” in Chicago in 1977.

Snarky Puppy has been releasing videos around the release of their latest, Family Dinner, Vol. 2. The new album features the band performing with various vocalists and musicians during recording sessions in February 2015. In this clip, the band is joined by Chris Turner, on the tune “Liquid Love”. As always, Michael League handles the low end – and the...

We first featured Young Pandas back in October, with their “Suspended” video. Bassist Kyle Nagel sent us the latest by the band, and we’re really digging what this band is doing. “It’s one of my most proud bass moments that I’ve recorded,” Kyle said. “I’m playing my Lakland Hollowbody with Bartolini pickups and flatwound strings. Matt, our drummer who’s always...

Tedeschi Trucks recently released Let Me Get By, the first to feature bass monster Tim Lefebvre since he joined up nearly three years ago. The band killed it in the studio, but this clip from Austin City Limits goes to show they’re hitting their stride in live situations, too. This clip of “Laugh About It” has all the right ingredients...

We love it when bassists get together to make music. Double bassists Petros Klampanis and Or Bareket teamed up to form the B’ANG Duet (aka the Bass Hang Duet), and it’s a perfect reason why bassists should band together. “B’ANG first appeared at the 2015 International Bass Society Convention in Colorado and received enthusiastic reaction,” they write. “The Duet continues...

Sean Malone caught everyone’s attention on Cynic’s debut album Focus in 1993. The prog-metal album’s distinct sound came in part to the bassist’s furious fretless work. Malone’s time with Cynic didn’t last much longer after the album’s release, though he rejoined the band when they started back up in 2008. In 2014, he put out this instrumental play-through of the...

About a month ago, we featured bassist Tanya O’Callaghan here for the first time, thanks to an introduction by Steve Lawson. Here’s another video from “Tanya’s Gold Blend”, and the first episode from her series. This video features Ryan Sheridan, Artur Graczyk, Joe Leech from BiPolar Empire, Nicky Brennan from Ryan Sheridan’s band playing Jeff Buckley’s “Everybody Here Wants You”....

Guitarist/keyboardist Billy Alexander, drummer/percussionist Anthony Morra, and bassist Tim Starace don’t live near each other, but they share a common interest – the music of Rush. The trio got together and recorded this Rush-inspired instrumental, which is a remarkable tribute.

Nik West shared this on Facebook, and it knocked me (and a lot of other people) out. In this video, the bassist/vocalist takes on Musiq Soulchild’s “Just Friends” with lots of style. “I wanted to try out this new Fender Jazz Elite Bass,” she shared. You made it sound great, Nik!
