Nathan
East celebrates a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his self-titled solo debut Nathan East, on Yamaha Entertainment
Group. Released in March, the album hit #1 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Albums
chart and held #1 for a record-breaking 36 weeks on SmoothJazz.com.
'Nathan
East' is the culmination of Nathan's 40+ year career as the world's most
in-demand studio and touring bassist and the album calls on many of Nathan's
past collaborators including Eric Clapton ("Can't Find My Way Home"),
Stevie Wonder ("Overjoyed"), Michael McDonald
("Moondance"), Sara Bareilles ("I Can Let Go Now"), Ray
Parker Jr. ("Daft Funk"), Bob James, Chuck Loeb, David Paich and
more. Nathan East was produced by Yamaha Entertainment Group Founder Chris Gero
and engineered by Bryan Lenox. For The Record, a new documentary on Nathan, had it debut on Hulu in December 2014 offering a behind-the-scenes look at the recording
process.
The
nomination caps off one of the most exciting years in Nathan's career, which
kicked off with a performance with Daft Punk at the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards;
included appearances on Tonight Show, Arsenio and Tavis Smiley; and next month
will see Nathan inducted into the Hall of Fame on January 24 at the NAMM TEC
Awards.
