About this episode
In today’s podcast we catch up with one of the most recorded bass players in popular music. Nathan East has performed with such a huge number of all-time greats, from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to Quincy Jones and Eric Clapton, that it’s hard to sum up the impact he’s had on popular music. His funk-fueled bass work added the sparkle to Daft Punk's 2013 hit single, 'Get Lucky'; he sings, he doubles on upright and electric bass, has received an Ivor Novello Award for co-writing the Phil Collins hit ‘Easy Lover’, and his ongoing team-up with Bob James, Harvey Mason and Chuck Loeb as jazz quartet, FourPlay, continues to raise his credentials. Following the success of his 2014 self-titled debut album, 2017 sees Nathan return with his second release as a solo artist, Reverence.
