Johannes Pehrson shared another great video by his project, Before Yellow. “Used To Love” is a tune written by the bassist, who says “is nothing but drums, vocals and my 6 string BTB Bass…” Vocalist Katrine Kampp joins him once again on this track. “This time I’am also playing two bass solos, and using a lot of pedals to make...

Bassist Tobias Fleischer shares this video with us, of his band Mo’ Blow, a jazz/funk group from Germany. Mo’ Blow tours quite a bit throughout Europe. In this video, the band is performing at the Borneo Jazz Festival in Malaysia. The tune – “Slingshot” – was written by Fleischer and pianist Matti Klein and appears on the group’s third album,...

It has been a while since we’ve featured a video by bassist Adam Stevens. Luckily, he’s shared another great solo bass arrangement. This time around, Adam takes on “Wake Me Up” by Avicii, which also features Aloe Blacc. Enjoy.

Our good friend Will Marks sent us this classic Hot Tuna video featuring bass legend Jack Casady on his Alembic bass. The clip is taken from a 1973 performance at the 46th Street Rock Palace in New York City. Dig that tone!

Ginastera’s “Variaciones Concertantes” is a standard in the realm of double bass solos. Jean-Baptiste Salles took things a step further by arranging it for double bass and six-string electric bass, both of which he plays himself.

I could watch the stuff Studio Jams put together for hours on end. Here’s episode #52, where a group of musicians got together and decided to try to put together a new take on the Billy Cobham tune, “Red Baron.” Mike Cheney is on bass, along with Peter White on guitar, Everette Harp on saxophone, Gregg Karukas on keyboards and...

Vahagn Stepanyan emailed me a couple of videos of music from his debut album, Moonlight. And this one grooves, thanks in large part to bassist Anthony Crawford, who makes it happen along with drummer Weerachat Premananda Jr. The guitarist in the video is Felipe Praino. Enjoy!

We’ve been lucky to know bassist Jesús Rico Pérez for a couple of years now. Over that time, Jesús has shared some pretty incredible videos showcasing his technique – but a technique that is about delivering the music, not a fireworks show. In this new video, Jesús plays both a piccolo bass and fretless with an e-bow. Stunning, as always.

I was watching the video of Niacin’s live performance of “Blood, Sweat & Beers”, and it made me want to look for more. Here’s the trio of Billy Sheehan, Dennis Chambers and John Novello performing “No Man’s Land” at the same show…

Zander Zon’s appreciation for composer John Williams is on full display with his latest video. Zander took several of the Williams-penned soundtracks on Steven Spielberg films and arranged them for solo bass. I’m sure you’ll recognize each one, but here’s the list of the soundtracks performed in this video: Jurassic Park E.T. Hook Indiana Jones Schindler’s List

Steve Bailey has a great tradition of spreading holiday cheer. He gathers his fellow bassists for a winter summit at Berklee College of Music, where he heads the bass department, and puts together star-studded arrangements of carols. This year the group includes heavyweights John Clayton, John Patitucci, Victor Wooten, and Bailey playing a reggae/swing/funk version of “Santa Claus is Coming...

Continuing our celebration of the holiday season, bass-style, here’s a beautiful arrangement and performance of “Silent Night” by bassist Miki Santamaria. Miki said “Please excuse my facial expressions… LOL I was very into it haha.” Hey, he wouldn’t be a bass player without some bass faces. Happy holidays, all.
