These guys are tremendous musicians but so humble.

[@AP-ui7oi]

I met Nathan before an Eric Clapton show last year. I ran into him outside the venue walking around before the show. He was riding a small bicycle. He spent about 10 minutes with me taking music. I play in “bar bands” and told him so. He extended the same musical respect to me and made me feel like part of the community regardless of my professional stature. Extremely nice man. Much respect.

[@lizgoodwin1812]

Thank you for sharing your great story! It's always wonderful to hear about the humanity of the artist, as we can perceive from your story that Mr. East is definitely one of the truly down to earth and kind musicians, in addition to being one of most gifted ones! Blessings to you and to all and to the video uploader for sharing this.

[@dantedt3931]

This dude is one of the coolest legends. Plus he’s a pilot.

[@Kevin198898]

i want you to listen to Angela Winbush The Real Thing CD Please Bring Your Love Back 1989 it is actually on youtube topic Please Bring Your Love Back He Rocked The House with The Bass

[@KeithCopeland778]

Nathan is a true professional who is very skilled and equally humble! My brother was good friends with the late great Gene Page. Gene found out that I played bass and invited me to watch Nathan doing a session at Baby O studios in LA in the mid to late 1980s. Nathan blew me away with his musicianship, professionalism, joy, and humble vibe! That was a fantastic experience and a blessing!

[@lizgoodwin1812]

Such a beautiful comment and quite a story! Nathan East is truly such a formidable talent and his humility and grace are refreshing! Thank you for sharing and blessings to you.

[@trollenz]

Watching Nathan smile is a very strong antidepressant. What an amazing person.

[@brettnewmandrums]

Thank you Dom. Nathan East is an absolute legend

[@CARDINAL701]

I have been following Nathan East's career since the 1970's....he has only gotten better over the years of his magnificent career. If anyone should be proud of his life as a musician, it's him.

[@ChiliMcFly1]

Nathan East...World class all the way !

[@jamesjung9423]

It's amazing how the way Nathan East speaks feels the same as the way he plays....🙏🏻✨

[@jemsar2]

I am a bass player..and definitely consider Nathan a bass hero. He's got the knowledge, humbleness, skills and talent wrapped up in a nice little package with his smile like a bow on top!

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Well said Thanks for subscribing & sharing!!

[@raysmusicexchange6022]

I love this guy, not only is he just unreal as a bassist but he's also really humble. Such a cool guy.

[@stanesposito2664]

You can always see his passion and joy every time he plays.

[@srs1166]

What a lovely lovely interview with Mr Nathan East. Such an incredible, humble, confident, spiritual, inspiring gentleman.. Thank you your advise and always so professional. God bless you.

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Agree! We enjoy having Nathan as part of our Alumni team! Thanks for watching & please subscribe & share!

[@jabulanibuthelezi4931]

An awesome musician but so humble. Maybe that's why he is so successful. May God bless you and give you more years of doing what you like and enjoy.

[@laurentquintana262]

2011 Toto tour in Lyons, France. After the concert we were a handful of die hard fans waiting one hour and a half before a fence, Nathan was the one to come to us and talked to us a few minutes, unforgettable memory.

[@grooveclinic]

It's amazing how the way he speaks feels the same as the way he plays...🙏🏻

[@carloscenteno59]

Thank you Dom. I’m a big fan of Nathan East. I look forward of meeting him one day. If anybody is interested in checking out his video documentary he made years ago which I thought it was nicely done. I believe it’s called “Nathan East: For the record”. Amazing player.

[@spontaneousgroovincombusti2902]

What a beautiful guy and musician. We're so proud that Nathan voiced the audio promo of our latest single.

[@robmorrison1043]

Nathan never gets older, he looks great! Phenomenal bass player and musician, and a better person!

[@mainbassss]

Nathan is THE GOLD STANDARD! As a great dude 1st! and his excellence in his craft Follows suit...ALWAYS ON POINT!!!! As a bassist/vocalist myself...I have always been inspired by him.

[@Luca84v]

I met Nathan East in EU a number of times and once in London. He is the most humbled PERSON not only musician that i ever met. EVEN if he could really act as it is: A number 1, a super top masterclass. Regading Dom Famularo, another legend. Thoughts to him for his departure. 🙏🏼

[@Waterinmenbenen]

I got goosebumps when they started talking about Jeff Porcaro. Such class acts, both of them.

[@Tomkarshner]

Class.....first class

[@laurentrosemain1699]

A true model on human and musical points of view, splendid and honest career, 2 personal albums of perfect taste ... My hero since a long time.

[@brandongcassels9009]

Wow what a coincidence, I would buy records with the name Nathan East in the back, I think he reaped what he sowed, well done

[@brandongcassels9009]

And it just so happened that many Babyface albums had Nathan East written on the back, and so I also ended up buying Babyface albums more, the greatness of N East was affirmed when introduced by Babyface on the Unplugged DVD where I got to see East live for the first time (on DVD)

[@Bass_Playa_Two_Point.O]

Nathan East seems to be such a nice, thoughtful, and kind individual. He has certainly worked for his success and deserves every bit of it. I had the good fortune of seeing him perform with Eric Clapton late in 2021 and his skill and versatility was evident and inspiring. May his career continue forward for decades to come.

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Agree! We always enjoy working with Nathan East!

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

Nathan, is a class act. Came from the old school. I love his playing in Four Play. After hearing him I go to practice and work-out.

[@Kevin198898]

Decades Nathan East Been With Many Talent Singers Jazz Musicians I am chilled on how he plays that bass do not forget he has a gift on playing the piano

[@HagbardCeline42]

His stint with Toto was incredible. (Check out the Live In Poland DVD). He was on tons of sessions with the Toto guys back in the 80s.

[@julesrace2217]

I've been inspired by everything in this interview. thank you so much

[@crashboombang8163]

Another humble cat and world class musician. Thank you Dom!

"Success leaves clues". Great guy! Loved him in Fourplay. And he can sing too!

[@edreynolds7427]

Great interview!! Love Nathan's musicality. He keeps the fundamentals in check and makes any band sound bigger and better.

[@jimbaker6442]

What a great interview! This friend of mine is a great bass player and got me interested in listening to the bass lines of songs. To my amazement there's a whole new world going on down in the lower registers of music that I was not really aware of. This interview came up and I decided to watch it and I'm so glad I did. This guy is just amazing! What a great attitude and a great outlook on life. He's recorded with so many artists and done so many songs that I don't think it'll be any problem finding samples of his music. Come to think of it, I've already listen to samples of his music in the past and didn't really know it.

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Thanks for the kind words Jim....Nathan is amazing & so is his music!!

[@ajadrew]

Such a great person which to my mind far surpasses any musical abilities one may have. And Nathan is at the top 😊

[@ki3lt322]

Nathan East!

[@Rightupbass]

The consummate pro! We used to do a couple four play tunes. This guy is no joke on that bass And vocals

[@robrandall1540]

Fabulous!

[@LeeTavMusic]

What a fantastic interview. Loved the Jeff Porcaro bit at the end and although I’m not Clapton’s biggest fan, there’s massive respect there. Nathan to me is the Jeff Porcaro of Bass, everything he plays on is his own, the soul, spirit and feel is infectious, completely influences my playing for sure. Subbed!

[@nohaste4me]

Wow!!! This is 1 of the reasons i'm looking att KZbin, both amazing people !!!

[@drutgat2]

What a modest, lovely man.

Great interview, great musician! I really hope he's on the panel at the Midwest Rhythm Summit this year!!!

[@malcolmlarri9073]

Nice guys get rebooked ! great interview

[@BeastIt9]

Ayyyyy it’s the B.O.T.U.S.🙌🏽🔥 “The LCD in great musicianship, is humility.” I learned this firsthand from my bass brother, aka “the bassist who makes notes smile.” #nathaneast #botus #bikkijohnsonquote #thesessions #domfamularo

[@augustalaurentbiehly3277]

Another great interview! I can't help but hope that after all the great bass players Dom has interviewed he would add Neil Stubenhaus and Jimmy "Flim" Johnson to the list.

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Great suggestions, thank you for subscribing too! We were honored to have Neil on our panel a few years ago prior to starting our Artist Series program kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqyl6x5ipmeaKM

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

Thats the thing. In those days if you had talent you had a chance to get up. Today, a talent is someone who payed there way in. Even if they have no talent. Not all like that, but a lot, a lot, that way. I hope we can get back to the real deal. Thank You Nathan and Dom for what you do.

[@grantrobertdavies]

My Hero 🙏🎸🎶

Nathan is the man....make every note count is 100% true..

[@jakefry6563]

Pleased to have seen him live, playing 6 string bass for Clapton. He's a bass wizard.

[@PeteN_2]

Thanks Dom for yet another musical enlightening interview with bass player Nathan East , who remains a humble and gracious musician in spite of working alongside the best in every musical genre to date . Amazing .

I would have liked to hear which specific young bass players Nathan is checking out on youtube. There are so many monsters.

[@anthonysilva5312]

Wow. You should interview Donald Fagen

[@michaelzahnwehgitarre8957]

That would be brilliant indeed

[@keef71]

any Q magazine article in the '80s about stadium live shows by the likes of Eric or Phil would mention Nathan - along with Ray Cooper (percussion) and Tessa Niles, Katie Kissoon (BV) - they were THE backing band of the mid-80s

[@joelsacks210]

Great interview, you wanna hear a great track with Nathan and Jeff Porcaro listen to Tip of My Tongue by The Tubes and David Foster.

Are you sure about that?

[@jeffsimon9594]

I want to see just *one* episode where Dom is scowling and disinterested, talking over the interviewee with sarcastic jibes about how they can't really play all that well and yawning at their life story, that would be comedy gold

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Ha! Not in Dom's DNA....can't imagine Dom doing that as he's genuinely a supportive & empowering Artist and interviewer....

[@chrismaljanovski8435]

At 27:23 Nathan mentions the name of a young musician, but can't figure out the spelling. Anyone who can help me?
