'Reverence' is out this Friday, January 20th via the Yamaha Entertainment Group of America. Produced by East and Yamaha Entertainment Group of American founder Chris Gero, the 12-song blend of originals and stylized covers is silky and sublime, tasteful but also inventive, each song a carefully crafted creation that could only be concocted by a musician with East's years of experience -- and experiences. The album features a high profile roster of collaborators, including Eric Clapton, original members of Earth, Wind & Fire, Phil Collins, Yolanda Adams, Ruben Studdard, and Nikki Yanofsky. And, of course, Nathan's trademark melodic bass.

Nathan ventures into multiple genres, from the gospel-inspired "Feels Like Home" featuring the acclaimed vocalist Yolanda Adams, to the jazzy "Why Not This Sunday" featuring American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, to "Serpentine Fire," featuring Eric Clapton on guitar, Phil Collins on drums, and original members of Earth, Wind & Fire, which Stereogum called a "fever dream of funk."

As a founding member of renowned contemporary jazz quartet Fourplay, Nathan East is one of the world's most recorded session bassists. With over 2,000 album credits to his name and several GRAMMY-winning songs including "Get Lucky," "Footloose" and "Change the World," the resume of artists Nathan has played for, co-written with or toured alongside includes Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Sting, Toto, Barry White, Herbie Hancock, Barbra Streisand and scores of others. But Nathan is a bandleader, visionary and artist in his own right, and on 'Reverence,' he once again steps into the spotlight.

He received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his self-titled solo debut 'Nathan East' on March 2014 which hit #1 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Albums chart and held #1 for a record-breaking 36 weeks on SmoothJazz.com.

Nathan will be at The 2017 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA this week, and his 2017 agenda includes a run of dates with Eric Clapton, Chick Corea, and Nathan's own jazz supergroup, Fourplay.
