When I grow up, I want to play bass like Juan Nelson. He doesn’t have to play a lot notes. He just knows which ones to play. Here’s Juan backing up Big Advice, live on the Sunset Strip. I’ll say it again: Juan is the man.

Funk Brothers with James Jamerson: Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart (Instrumental)

The up-tempo Supremes tune “Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart” was a departure from the group’s more typical lighter sound.

Victor Wooten: Victor’s Jam

Victor Wooten: Victor’s Jam

Three words that mean a lot to us around here: Victor Wooten and Jam. One of the commenters said it best: “He can groove fast. He can groove slow. Mr. Wooten is the master of flow.” Now, who wants to transcribe this for us?

Big Sir: Old Blood

Big Sir: Old Blood

Big Sir, the project led by bassist Juan Alderete and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Lisa Papineau, just wrapped up a nice European tour.
