Diazpora bassist David Nesselhauf sent us a note saying, “…just wanted to share a video or two [with some] DOUBLEBASS Funk…” Funk is right. We loved this band so much, we decided to share both videos today. 7 Up Here’s the band performing “7 Up” at Weidenstieg Straßenfest in Hamburg/Germany in 2009: Groove Babe / Legbo Strut This is an...

Zander Zon has shared one of the first videos showcasing music from his new CD, Saturn Return. In our track-by-track feature with Zander, he shared the story behind this tune: The title of this piece is derived from the beat that’s present throughout a lot of the piece, and from the fact that you of course don’t need music to...

Johan Hansén-Larson sent us this new video of himself playing along with “Gotta Be Another Way” by the Los Angeles electronica duo KNOWER. The bassist adapts the synth line to make a cooking and catchy bass line to jam along with the track, adding beautiful chords during the breakdowns.

Jermaine Morgan shared this video featuring his single, “Journey”. He said “This is an old one, but I hope you’ll enjoy.” We did, and we’re betting you will too. Jermaine is in good company on this one – he recruited Ron James on sax, David “Fingers” Haynes on drums and Will Perry on keys.

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...
