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.

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...

During the 2012 Bonnaroo festival, the Superjam was set up by The Roots drummer Questlove. Questlove recruited Pino Palladino to play bass, setting the stage for some real magic.

After their respective face-melting solos, the duo trade fours then twos, all while keeping a...
