Snarky Puppy keyboardist Cory Henry joins drummer Keelan Jones in this funky performance of “Sunday Stroll”, recorded on November 29, 2014 from Jones’ . Tony Russell lays down a sweet a bass line on this one. Love the horns and that funky Moog!

Bassist Joanna Dudkowska sent us this video of the tune “The Beginning”. She told us she had just received her Marleaux Consat Custom and recorded this in celebration. Not only does she play that, but she puts down some nice fretless work as well.

Bassist Ivo Schot has released the second video from his “fortheloveofbass” series. This time, the bassist teams up with Marlon Penn for the singer’s own “Forsake Me.” Schot starts with a whispering bass line on a Höfner Club Bass to set the mood for Penn’s heartfelt vocals before switching to a Fender Jazz as things build up. The bass then...

Selah Poitier shared her latest video with us, and it is killer. In this clip, the bassist/vocalist performs her original, “I’ve Learned To Love Me,” live at Berklee. Love the old school vibe on this one. And dig that solo!

Franklin Peredo sent us his original composition, “Girasol Negro,” which features some gorgeous soundscapes created with incredible right hand technique. I had to watch this one a few times to catch everything he does.

Costantino Riemma does it all in this video featuring the bassist playing both bass and drums… at the same time. And wow, does he do it well. In this clip, Costantino covers a lot of musical ground with “Smoke On The Water,” “Billie Jean,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Enter Sandman”. Check out Costantino’s Facebook page for more.

Charles Mingus was one of the greatest bassists and composers of the 20th century. His melodies and harmonies always seem to express the deepest of emotions in unexpected ways. Pablo Elorza and Valeria Falcon bring out that same depth with their bass and vocal arrangement of “Duke Ellington’s Sound of Love.” Full of lush and complex chords, the duo seem...

Here’s another great cover by the band featuring Bryan Ladd on bass. This time around, the trio of Ladd along with James Spears on Fender Rhodes and Jason Patterson on drums takes on Stevie Wonder’s “Love Light In Flight.” These guys get down. (And dig that Moogerfooger-driven bass solo!)

So much can be said with just a bass guitar. Here’s a great example of that with David Piggott’s “Unbroken,” a song he wrote for his wife. Piggott uses some crafty measures to create a beautiful flow of notes, with some strings backing him up for good measure.

Adam Nitti sent me this video saying, “[Here’s] another project i’m involved with, called ‘The Bottom 40’. kind of on the Dirty Loops tip, but in a different style. (I even snuck in a sweep lick, LOL….) This band has been creating some heavy momentum online lately…” The tune is Katy Perry’s “Firework”, and also features Michael Whittaker on keys,...

After releasing Funktastic last year, bassist Mike Zabrin is back with a new single called “Slice”. Starting as a tender and introspective piece, the song morphs into a mid-tempo groove before kicking it up another notch into an upbeat jam. Check out this clip of Zabrin and his band throwing down on “Slice” as well as “What’s the Dea?” from...

After Trampled Under Foot dissolved, lead singer and bassist Danielle Nicole struck out on her own, and we’re glad she did. This clip is a big reason why. Shot at Knuckleheads in Kansas City, Nicole and her group get deep on the ballad “Just Give Me Tonight” from the bandleader’s album Wolf’s Den. She lays down a thick, tasty bass...
