This is the one hundred and eighty fifth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
An up-and-coming avant-garde bassist and composer, Nick Dunston is based in Brooklyn.
Dunston has performed and toured with such notables as Vijay Iyer, Marc Ribot, Tyshawn Sorey, Anthony Coleman, Dave Douglas, Matt Wilson, Allison Miller, and Darius Jones to just name a few; he has also composed for a wide variety of ensembles.
On this LiveStream from May 30, 2020, Nick Dunston performs his “Bass Concerto #1.”
The piece which starts out as a drone, has Dunston creating otherworldly sounds on his acoustic bass, sometimes using a bow, another slide device and electronics, creating explorative music that is beyond any simple description.

This is the fifty second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Most LiveStreams feature pianists, guitarists or singers who are joined by one instrumentalist, so it is a rare treat to see Victor Goines playing unaccompanied clarinet solos.
Goines, who was born in New Orleans, is best-known for his longtime association with Wynton Marsalis, both in Marsalis’ Septet (starting in 1993) and as a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
An excellent tenor and soprano-saxophonist, Goines is particularly valuable to Marsalis as a fluent and versatile clarinetist.
On his LiveStream of May 30, 2020, Victor Goines celebrates Benny Goodman’s birthday by playing a set of songs associated with the King Of Swing.
Goines gives Goodman a bit too much credit as a composer (BG actually wrote very few songs and none of the ones heard in this set), but Goodman’s talents as a clarinetist put him near or at the top of his field for more than a half-century.
Victor Goines shows that he does not need a rhythm section during a fine solo recital that includes “Let’s Dance,” “Rose Room,” “Stompin’ At The Savoy,” “And The Angels Sing,” “Don’t Be That Way” (which he briefly plays on the piano), a chorus of “Goodbye,” and a spirited closing version of “Happy Birthday.”
