I can’t get enough of the videos from Nate Smith’s performance at Gesu Music Hall in Montreal, which took place on July 4th. Here’s Smith performing “Simon F-15” with Victor Wooten, Cory Wong, and Ariel Posen.

Shouts Of Joy shared this video with some sage advice from one of the greats. John Patitucci shares his advice on the importance of work ethic, dependability, musicianship, and more.

Christian McBride visited NPR with his band, New Jawn, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert. As expected, it was outstanding. Christian is the man!

No Treble reader Brian Keating is the bassist and musical director for Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, a “tribute to the classic songs of Motown and Stax records.” Here’s their impressive cover of “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me.”

There’s so much to like in this new “Berklee Two Track Live: A Headphone Concert” video. Christian Inman performs Harry Styles’s “Music For a Sushi Restaurant” with a super impressive supporting cast, including Ciara Moser on bass.

The electric bass has plenty of extended techniques to make extraordinary sounds, but so does the double bass. Bassist and composer Jacob Warren wrote “Zola” to explore the use of “harp harmonics.”

Many years ago, we shared a video by Michael Pipoquinha, who was 13 years old at the time. It was a monster hit. Now, nearly thirteen years later, we’re sharing his latest video of him performing “Tipo Dani” from his 2022 album, “Um Novo Tom.”

The Playing For Change Band paid tribute to Robbie Robertson with a special performance of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.” Robertson passed away on August 9, 2023.

I love the Berklee Two Track Live series. I especially love it when they feature bassists. In this episode, Bianca Cabili gets the crowd going with the performance of her original, “Lo Creíble.”

Nate Smith dropped another video from his performance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival on July 2nd, and this one is killer. “Unfollower” starts with some gnarly bass by Michael League before the band kicks into a world-class groove.

Marcus Miller is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of bass players, and his arrangements are always something fresh. That is on full display in this clip. Playing the classic Miles Davis tune “Tutu,” Marcus put on yet another masterclass!

Meshell Ndegeocello continues dropping videos from her new album, The Omnichord Real Book, and I keep watching them over and over. “Towers” is the ninth track on the record and one of my favorite tunes.
