No Treble reader Aleksi Aaltonen shared this video with us, saying “Here’s a great video of the absolutely best ever Finnish bassist Pekka Pohjola. This guy isn’t yet on your page for some reason ;).” After just a handful of seconds of watching this video, we realized we needed to fix this oversight immediately. Here’s the Pekka Pohjola Group performing...

Here’s an awesome video of Uruguayan bassist Diego Zecharies playing David Anderson’s Capriccio No. 2 for solo double bass. His rich, thick tone and intensity make the piece sound like it’s played by a full ensemble. Bravo!

Dave Marks sent us this killer video from one of his fusion gigs, where the band lays into the classic Billy Cobham track “Stratus.” Marks locks into the groove (originally played by Lee Sklar) before the band stretches out for some jams. The bassist then takes a spacey solo at the 8:55 mark, eventually whipping the group into a frenzy...

There was a time when the Olsen twins were those tiny and adorable sitcom stars on a show called Full House. I’m sure that those of you who remember the show also remember the theme song. Sebastiano Mereu shares his bass arrangement, noting that it was a lot of fun to play. Turns out, he made it fun to listen...

Bassist Viktor Lorincz has a great duo with László Peck called B2Men. The two are best friends and grew up together, so naturally they got into music together. Here’s a cool version of Sting’s “Shape of My Heart” featuring the duo on bass and voice.

Here’s the fantastic WDR Big Band with special guests Victor Bailey on bass and Peter Erskine on drums performing the music of Jaco Pastorius. Things kick off appropriately with “Come On, Come Over”, the second track from Jaco’s debut album. Bailey does double duty on this one, playing the funky bass line while singing the vocals. Other tunes include “Liberty...

Joshua Pickenpaugh sent us this video of a tune he recorded back in 2011, while in his cabin aboard the largest cruise ship at sea, the Oasis of the Seas. Armed with his Vintage Modified Jazz bass, his Chapman Stick (1997 Purpleheart #1397) and GarageBand on the iPad, Joshua put together a pretty interesting tune. And at times, a very...

Last July, we shared Adam Ben Ezra‘s impressive solo performance of “Can’t Stop Running“. Adam created a new video from that one, thanks to a long distance collaboration with saxophonist Gianni Bardaro, who is based in Denmark. Once again, Adam blows us away with his playing, his creativity and his amazing video productions.

When we first featured bassist Marta Altesa, she knocked us out with her Jamiroquai play-along. The video showcased her great playing, but what really blew us away was the fact she started playing bass less than three years ago. Marta stunned us again with a new a new video of her playing along to Paul Young’s “Everytime You Go Away”....

Today’s video features Peruvian bassist Omar Rojas performing his song “Timba Funk” on quite a few basses and some iPad-cowbell and various other iPad-instruments. There is also a shout out about his latest release at the end of the video. Thanks to Gabriel Zarruk (@gzarruk), who shared this one with us on Twitter.

The 2012 Jazz Week Burghausen featured six days of performances by a variety of groups, including Marcus Miller with his band. The band was on their spring tour in Europe. Here’s a clip from their performance of the tune “Blast”, from Marcus’ A Night in Monte Carlo. Marcus and drummer Louis Cato really lock it in on this one.

Jeff Schmidt made a solid impression with many great videos a couple of years ago. He has been away from the solo bass scene for quite a while now, but the wait is over. Jeff is back with a brand new solo bass performance of a composition he calls “And Now I Crumble”. Great to have you back, Jeff! If...
