The Best Double Bass Playing on YouTube

Here's part three of my list of favourite YouTube videos. In this one I cover pop music, but really it's anything that isn't jazz or classical!

Sierra Hull with double bassist Ethan Jodziewicz - 'E-Tune'

Ethan Jodziewicz regularly performs with singer/guitarist/mandolinist Sierra Hull. They are both awesome and if you like bluegrass you will love this!

Sierra Hull, the multi-talented mandolinist and singer, came by the Reverb office to perform her song "E-Tune". Joining her is Ethan Jodziewicz on the double bass. Check out more on Sierra Hull at http://bit.ly/2nZoAEw. New album "Weighted Mind" available on New Rounder. http://www.sierrahull.com/

Zaz with double bassist Mathieu Verlot - 'Les Passants'

Scott Mulvahill - 'Homeless'

What happens when you loose the power on a gig?.. It's time for the double bassist to step up and shine! Scott Mulvahill's magical performance is one of my all time favourite YouTube videos and testament to the power of live music.

A great night became an unforgettable one when the power went out at our Paul Simon "Graceland" show at The Basement East on Monday 6/13. This moment was magic, and it was a gift. So thankful for this group of people, our friends in the crowd, and the inspiring music of Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo!

Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile And Stuart Duncan: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

It just doesn't get any cooler than this! Edgar Meyer with Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Thile and Stuart Duncan playing at the NPR studios. You know it's going to be amazing and it doesn't disappoint!

The genre-bending cellist Yo-Yo Ma heads a dream team of string players -- Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, Stuart Duncan -- who borrow from bluegrass. The quartet, plus singer Aoife O'Donovan perform three songs from their album The Goat Rodeo Sessions at the NPR Music offices.

Danny Thompson and John Martyn 'Solid Air’

Double bassist Danny Thompson has tone to die for and is one of the best folk bassists ever. This video features a wonderful double bass solo that you will love!

John Martyn Solid Air with Danny Thompson in Dublin - Marvelous!

Bridget Kearney - Lake Street Dive 'Walking on Broken Glass'

This performance blew me away! If you haven't heard Lake Street Dive before please stop what you are doing and check this out! It's an incredible arrangement and tasteful playing by double bassist Bridget Kearney which makes this so special. I love it!

Petros Klampanis - The Beatles ‘Blackbird'

I discovered Petros Klampanis via this YouTube video and it didn't take long for him to become one of my favourite double bassists. He has a unique voice on the instrument which combines formidable technique with his creative arrangements and compositions. Check out this beautiful performance of Blackbird, it's too good!

Tuesday 16th of May CD Release concert at RegattaBar in BOSTON! This is a version of The Beatles classic song, arranged by Petros Klampanis and performed by Sofia Ribeiro, Petros Klampanis and Marcelo Woloski. It is included in Petros Klampanis debut album entitled CONTEXTUAL.

THE WOOD BROTHERS ‘ATLAS' - CHRIS WOOD ON DOUBLE BASS

Double bassist Chris Wood is a force of nature. I love his energy, incredible tone and tasty note choices. Don’t miss this one!

String Warning: Chris is using a full set of Pirastro's Eudoxa strings. These are sheep gut core, wound in silver and hand polished. So, you know they are not going to be cheap! His tone is to die for by the price may cause serious damage to your finances, so only watch this video if you can resist the compulsion to buy new strings! ;-)
