Check out this awesome version of the Beatles’ “Get Back” performed by Eric Krasno & Chapter 2 during their gig at The Iridium. Bassist Chris Loftlin is having so much fun, you can’t help but smile at his bubbling groove and funky moves. He gets a solo at the two minute mark that’ll make you jump out of your seat.

Simon Fitzpatrick is a favorite around here, thanks in large part to his awesome solo bass arrangements (plus, he’s a super cool guy). Here’s Simon performing Bob Marley’s classic “No Woman, No Cry” on a 6-string GB spitfire with Boomerang 3 looper pedal. Sweet.

She’s played with Victor Wooten and she’s been Beyonce’s musical director, but Divinity Roxx’s own style is something a world apart. Blending hip hop and hard rock, she’s got flow, edge and attitude to present a real in-your-face musical experience. Here’s the music video to her single “Get Here”, which won Best Music Video 2012 at the the California International...

To help celebrate Flea’s birthday today, we’re featuring this great version of the Chili Peppers’ “If You Have To Ask” at 2001’s Rock in Rio Festival. Flea’s got his funk in full gear, laying down a fat groove for the verse and bringing out more of his Parliament influence during the chorus. The song wraps up in a bass solo...

Watch this video and I bet that within the first 2 or 3 seconds, you’ll be hooked. Bassist Roscoe Beck not only lays down some sweet lines and fills on this one, he takes a great solo too.

Here’s Will Lee from back in the day, showcasing not only his bass chops, but also his writing and vocal chops too. The tune, “Recovery Road”, is one of Will’s compositions. Will is joined by a super group of musicians, including Robben Ford, Alex Acuna, Russell Ferrante, Bob Malach and Koono Schmidt. This recorded on the Swiss TV program “Jazz-In”.

Our friend Sylvain Gros-Desormeaux shared this video with us, saying, “Here is Jeremie Coke, a French bass player in a band called Electro Deluxe. I really like this band.” The song is “Peel Me”, and Sylvain added, “Jeremie plays a crazy funky bass line.” Funky indeed! Have a video to share? Send us a note at [email protected].

Bassist Scott Varney shared a video with us of a new tune he’s recently completed for his upcoming CD. Love the bass/vocal combo. What else do you need? Scott said, “I would love to hear any feedback if you have any…” Let him know!

Last week we celebrated Sting’s birthday, and our Facebook friend Andrew Bennett reminded us of this great version of his hit “Englishman in New York” from the DVD …All This Time. Sting’s eclectic band is joined by double bassist Christian McBride, who kicks the group into a burning jazz trio at the 2:10 mark.

Rick Suchow shares this super funky live performance of Herbie Hancock and his Headhunters band performing live in 1979 at Chelsea College in London. And as usual, bassist Paul Jackson brings the funk. Someone better light a match!

If you haven’t noticed yet, Johan Hansén-Larson is a guy you need to keep an eye on. In his newest video, Johan shares a new original called “Kopano,” inspired by a recent trip to Botswana and South Africa. The composition includes three parts for guitar (which he also covers), but the focus is really in the bass as it takes...
