Nathan East

[ML94]

Hi

I've just googled and googled Nathan East and I'm surprised that he played most of the Anita Baker stuff as well as other 'big' artists.

I would've never thought that he'd be the guy behind all the grooves that I find amazing. I just wanted to know does anyone have any transcriptions of his work or somewhere where I can find them ? Also some of his 'well known' bass lines.
Does he slap, as I've not seen, heard his slap work if there is any?

Can he slap? Yes.
Does he slap? When needed.

That was pretty much his answer at the Manchester bassday he did.

I saw him play with Clapton many times in the early 90s. I don't recall him being particularly 'slappy', but I've no doubt he could if necessary.

Perhaps that's the bassist's definition of a true gentleman - someone who can slap, but doesn't.

I discovered Nathan East through his jazzy work. I love the sounds of Fourplay *ducks from inbound innuendo*
