The Secret to Anita Baker's Sound

Part 1: • Nathan East Breaks Down his Most Icon...

Part 2: Coming Soon


"Nathan East plays his bass line from the hit Anita Baker song "Giving You The Best that I Got", and gives us the inside scoop on what it was like recording bass for one of the most influential songstresses of the 1980s. This video is a continuation of our "The Bassist Behind..." video series and a clip from the second part of our two-hour interview with Nathan." from the video introduction


"A founding member of the chart-topping contemporary jazz group Fourplay, East was 16 years old when he got his first break and found himself on the road with Barry White. The next time the phone rang, Quincy Jones was on the line. The calls kept coming and for the last forty years, East has been churning out hit songs with artists as legendary as Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand and Stevie Wonder.

His genre-crossing groove has earned him both the recognition – a Congressional Record for his contributions to the worldwide music community, for one – and the boundary-busting respect of his peers, illustrated by his current appearances on two hit records as diverse as Andrea Bocelli’s Passione and Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories..." from the website: nathaneast.com
