I’ve somehow avoided listening to Miley Cyrus’s hit tune, “Wrecking Ball”… until now. It is all thanks to bassist Lior Ozeri, who sent me his interpretation of this tune where he drops the original instrumentation and turns it into a bass arrangement behind Cyrus’s vocals. I dig this, and I don’t mind admitting it.

Fan clips and audio of the Dead & Company’s recent Halloween performance at Madison Square Garden have been trickling onto the web over the past few days, proving that the group is firing on all cylinders.

Back in September, Berklee held their Beantown Jazz Festival. Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey and Derico Watson took the stage, and thankfully, they recorded it.

I’ve watched just one video of The Zamar Odongo Collective, and I’m already a big fan. Drummer Zamar Odongo and the group’s pianist, Timothée Bakoglu, came up with this terrific arrangement of Herbie Hancock’s “Cantaloupe Island”.

Miles Mosley can rip it up on the upright bass, but his latest release, “High School,” isn’t about that. “Ever meet someone that makes you feel nervous and giddy like you’re back in High School again?,” the bassist asks. “Here’s live footage of a song I co-wrote about that very thing, featuring the West Coast Get Down and Justin Sky....

This one is super sweet… The Allman Brothers, with Oteil Burbridge laying down the low end on Elmore James’ “The Sky Is Crying”. The performance took place on December 3rd, 2011 at the Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA. Oh yeah.

Our friend Dan Spitzer sent in this awesome clip of The Loop Loft All-Stars featuring bassist Mark Kelley performing “Can’t Wait For Perfect” live in New York City. The Roots bassist lays down a sparse yet compelling bass line with a huge tone. “I thought you might dig the bass groove at around 9 minutes from the great Mark Kelley,”...

Remco Hendriks has lots of raw talent with a style that blends influences like Les Claypool and Mick Karn. Here’s a great clip of a funky fretless groove he built with double stops, harmonics and a Boss OC-2 octave pedal.

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals took the stage at Morrison, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre in September, and the reunited group brought out a special guest for one of their tunes. “It’s amazing when you can find your way as an adult to creatively collaborate with your parent,” Harper said. “So without further ado, Jeremy Nelson.” Jeremy is the son...

No Treble reader and bassist Kyle Nagel sent us this video of his band Young Pandas. Kyle shared the process behind this and their other videos: “This is a recording we made at The Farm Studio in Westchester, PA… We went on a spring tour right after the recording an so are just releasing the videos now. I actually am...

We’re celebrating funk bass legend Bootsy Collins’ birthday today. Here’s a great clip of Collins laying down the groove with fellow James Brown band alumni Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley on Letterman in 1990. Happy birthday, Bootsy!
