This is one fun video (and jam!) featuring bassist Gerald Veasley, along with Gerald Albright (sax), James Rouse (drums), Jef Lee Johnson (guitar) and Will Brock (keyboards). The group decides to play Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man”, and then jump right into one funky, laid back groove.

It has been a while since we featured Zander Zon and his nifty piccolo bass compositions. Here’s a new video featuring one of this tunes from Zander’s album Sonorous, entitled “Looking Glass”. (read our review of the album).

A good bass line just never goes away, and Bernard Edwards’ iconic riff for Chic’s “Good Times” is a perfect example. Besides being under the fingers of players worldwide, the song has been sampled countless times.

Bassist Ingi Ingason sent us this video and we couldn’t wait to feature it. Ingi shares, “Here is me playing at a rehearsal at the National Theater in Iceland, shot last spring (at 10 o clock in the morning!!) and recorded with my iPhone.” Add to that his bass face and funky playing, and it all adds up to a...

Adept at both upright and electric bass, Charnett Moffett is a bassist to be reckoned with. Here, he showcases electric chops and improvisatory skills on his tune “Enlightenment,” for which he utilizes a piccolo bass. The song comes off as a meditation with its Middle-Eastern influences. Some might say “it’s too trebly,” but just wait for the 1:28 mark. (My...

Les Claypool has joined forces with Rush’s Neil Peart, the Police’s Stewart Copeland and Tool’s Danny Carey to form “Carey Claypool Copeland Peart” or “CCCP.” The supergroup is documented with a jam called “Count Drumula,” recently posted on Neil Peart’s website. The extent of the collaboration is unclear, as no other announcements about the group has been made. With three...

Bassist Robert Szewczuga shares this video with us, featuring a bass duet he used as a promo for the jazz festival “Lotos Jazz Festival Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa”. Robert plays his MusicMan Stingray 5 for both parts. We only wish it ran a little longer.

Following their bass clinics at Thump Music’s event last year, Victor Wooten and Dane Alderson took the stage to jam. Eventually, the duo gets to their version of “The Chicken”. Thanks to Alejandro Perez, who sent us videos of Dane.

Recorded live for Denmark Radio in 1969, here are the boys from Led Zeppelin performing “Communication Breakdown” and “Dazed and Confused”. John Paul Jones and John Bonham really get things rocking around the five-minute mark.

When bassist Rick Reese wants to lay it down, he means it. Rick sent us this video of The John Sutton Band performing a live cover of Ben Harper’s “Steal My Kisses” (which features one of my favorite bassists ever on the original, Juan Nelson). Check out Rick’s “floor bass solo” in the middle of the tune. Rick can stand...

A group led by Ronnie Wood, dubbed “The First Barbarians,” recorded a concert album in July 1974. Material from one of the two performances at London’s Kilburn Gaumont State Theatre used for the release (now available as a ). The concert was in support of Wood’s album I’ve Got My Own Album to Do. Willie Weeks really grooves on this...

The Fab Faux is one of if not the best Beatles tribute bands. Consisting of bassist Will Lee and Jimmy Vivino, Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello and Jack Petruzzelli. This is part of an in-studio medley of the Fab Four’s Abbey Road, featuring the songs “Sun King” through “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window.” Gotta love Lee’s red psychedelic Rickenbacker,...
