Nathan East Sir Duke performed live at the 30th Annual 2015 NAMM/TEC Awards

[@drewpackard2173]

This arrangement is a solid combo of homage and innovation. Thank you!

[@richardraybould6928]

Nathan is such a great musician. Love that bass 😃

[@analogaudiorules1724]

That was the most beautiful cover I've ever heard, bass parts were solid, the scatting was solid, the vocal harmony was perfect, the drummer was in the pocket and the horn players pulled accidentals perfectly, and then the cherry on top was Bob James piano solo.... my only hope is if Stevie Wonder heard this master piece interpretation his friends did.... i really hope he did, we need a reaction video from Stevie Wonder on his vevo or topic Channel!!!!

[@GinovanGroeningen]

you're damn right...GREAT COVER!!!

[@joesmith34]

Yeah but without the vocals For me NOt good Too many key changes

[@troyancheta3803]

There's a video of Stevie walking into Nathan East while playing this live on NAMM. But I would love to see Stevie's reaction. I bet he will enjoy it

[@strauqq1]

That's the prettiest bass I've ever seen.

[@AlahuSnackbar]

and the prettiest sound I've ever heard

[@333ts333]

When the Rythm Section’s Bassist has more strings on his Bass than the Bass Soloist 😄 and both of them are legends.

[@JeremySmyth]

Yeah, how much guts does it take to be Nathan East's bass player?

[@neilcarlevaro4077]

Melvin Lee Davis one at random! LOL

@@JeremySmyth I think similar to how much it takes to be Esperanza Spalding bass player :D (Nathan plays with Esperanza)

Oh such joy to watch and listen to such talent. Whoever said about Nathan’s smiling is so spot on and something we need so much more of. There is a great KZbin of Nathan performing this song in a mall and Stevie Wonder turns up to watch😻 Was Bob James the writer of Angela, theme to awesome comedy series of the 70’s Taxi ?
