This video features a #bassview of ANOTHER Blues Brother’s tune called “Funky Nassau.” This performance was with the Jazz Derelict’s on Oct 5th 2025.

Follow, share and more importantly, leave a comment.

”Funky Nassau”

That’s a place. It’s an island in the Bahamas. Not a drug reference. Blues Brothers 2000 movie is where all this is coming from.

I'll just say it real quick, the best part is difficult because of the necessity to do rapid 16th notes at a high tempo and jump the strings. I’m glad the drummer knew his part and while to take his little solo. I have a little solo after him. I did not play it as written or as recorded. Nobody cares, except me.

This song is ANOTHER good opportunity to work on finger dexterity and speed. Why is every Blues Brothers song a #bassplayerecercise for me?!?
Seriously, I’m having flash backs to 2005 big band experiences.

DONE! This the last video from the Oct 5th 2025 performance.

Next, look forward to NEW videos featuring a Big Band series and a 5-String Fender Ultra J Bass. “Big Ouchy” might be it’s new name. I’ve named the 4-string you see in today’s video “Bread And Butter.”

Thanks for reading and supporting.

I’ll be at two hundred performance videos soon. That a span of one year. two bands, failing camera batteries, iPhone illusions of grader, outdated GoPros, and two electric bass guitars.

Tetrahedroseph’s new music, “Cumbia Truck”.
It’s only on BandCamp.
