The innovative Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is releasing a new album in May called . They’ve just released a video of the first movement from the record, “Mississippi.” If it’s any sign of the rest of the album, it’s going to be a killer. Ironically, the Fourchestra is a trio made up of Jonathan Scales on steel pans, Phill Bronson on...

One of my favorite all-time duos have shared a new video. Here’s bassist Evan Marien and drummer Dana Hawkins performing “Finale”, which is from Evan’s new album, We Are All You. This might be my favorite tune yet by these guys.

Jan Urbanec sent us a note about his new project, and a video to go along with it. The duo pairs the bassist with Shahab Tolouie. “It is a fusion of Flamenco, Persian traditional music and modern groove,” explains Jan. “Shahab comes from Iran, studied flamenco in Spain and lives now in Prague.” Jan once again plays his semi-acoustic fretless,...

No Treble reader Sergey Danilevych sent us this video of him performing with drummer Josh Schusterman. The tune, “Staying Forever” is an original by Sergey, who said this was recorded in one take with no overdubs. All of the samples were triggered in real time from Abletone Live and iPad. Something else I found cool was the voices, which were...

Yes, St. Paddy’s Day was yesterday, but we’re going to celebrate a little more today with some bass goodness from Ian Pettersson. Ian sent us this video of him performing his own solo bass arrangement of the classic Irish song, “On Raglan Road”. Ian said the song is based on a “poem by Patrick Kavanagh but made famous by Luke...

Time for another incredible solo bass performance by Zander Zon. This time, he tackles the Nine Inch Nails tune, “Hurt”. The arrangement came by popular demand… Zander asked fans on his Facebook page which song he should cover next, and this one received the most votes by far. In case you’re wondering, his bass is tuned A, E, C, E...

I’ve been really getting into JJ Grey & Mofro on vinyl lately, and bassist Todd Smallie is a big part of that. Smallie was the first bassist in the Derek Trucks Band, which formed in 1994, and he always seems to pick all the right notes while maintaining such a great feel. Here’s a nice live performance of the tune...

Adam Blackstone is not only a monster bassist, he’s an amazing musical director. Currently working with pop stars like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna, here’s a great video of Jill Scott from VH1’s SoulStage with Blackstone laying down some serious groove. The song arrangements are absolutely killer, too.

King Crimson is notorious for all of its lineup changes, but no one can deny that John Wetton was a major force in the group during their 1972-1974 run. His bass and vocals shaped the band’s Larks’ Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red albums. Here he is with the band on French television performing “Starless” in 1974....

This one is sure to get your head bobbing. Italian bassist Tobia Ciaglia gets an awesome groove going with just his bass, a slide, and a wooden box.

Maurice Ellis has a way with all bass covers. His first one of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” hit the nail on the head, and he’s done it again with the song “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” “Originally by Bonnie Raitt, this song has be redone by numerous artists,” he writes. “I figured it would be a good platform for a...

When we were interviewing Alex Webster for our recent Profiles in Tone column, one of the bands he said we had to check out was Revocation. And he was right. Bassist Brett Bamberger gets a gnarly pick tone on the track “Spastic” from the band’s self-titled album. Here’s his play-through of the song (first video), followed by the second video...
