Nathan East: For the Record: Directed by Chris Gero. With Byron ‘Mr. Talkbox’ Chambers, Mindi Abair, Patti Austin, Jeff Babko. With more than 2000 album credits to his name, 2015 Grammy Nominee Nathan East is one of the most recorded bass players of all time! His sound is legendary and he’s the most famous musician you don’t know.

“I noticed a shot of a Yamaha grand piano at about the two-thirds mark, and a 1-second Yamaha logo shot in the intro. Also, a couple minutes before the end (for the first and only time that I noticed) the phrase u0026quot;Yamaha Musicianu0026quot; was used. As far as promoting Nathan Eastu0026#39;s new album: less than five minutes. It seems to me, after actually watching the film, that there were a lot of (to quote stine_pine) u0026quot;famous people gushing over him, over and over and over againu0026quot; because each gush was associated with a stellar performer talking about a groundbreaking recording. There were lots of fast-paced cuts from scene-to-scene, but it seemed to me that that was because they had to make room for the overflowing amount of u0026quot;gushingu0026quot; coming from so many world-class artists. From Clapton to Earth Wind and Fire, to Lionel RIchie, to Daft Punk. Overall, this was a more than decent doc and nobody would u0026quot;rush from the theateru0026quot; lol.”
