The bass great that is Nathan East

I figure it would be only fair to shine a light on one of those players with a resume long enough to span the world twice but isn't really a household name outside the musical community.


Well what can we say about Nathan East? He worked with Lionel Ritchie, with Eric Clapton, with Phil Collins, with the Eurythmics, with Earth, wind and fire, with Larry Carlton... the list just goes on and on. And he's the poster boy for Yamaha, I don't think I've seen him play anything else.
