Drummer, composer and bandleader Nate Smith joins me on the show this week. While many people have come to know of Nate’s work through his recent collaborations with Vulfpeck, Brittany Howard, and as a member of the Fearless Flyers, Nate has been playing, touring and honing his craft for decades. His early experience with legendary jazz vocalist Betty Carter led to him being a full-time member of Dave Holland’s group for many years, and carved out a reputation as one of New York’s great up and coming jazz drummers. Nate’s wide range of skills and musical tastes led him to start his own group, Kinfolk, which has recorded 2 spectacular albums. A somewhat random invite led him to become a member of The Fearless Flyers, which exploded on youtube, and has paved the way for Nate’s own set of solo and collaborative videos that are highly original, exciting, and musical. His collaborations with musicians like Charlie Hunter, Cory Wong, Victor Wooten, Carrtoons, and Lionel Loueke are well documented on both album and youtube videos. Nate’s latest project is under his own name, entitled “Live-Action” and is an incredible collection of compositions, improvisations and collaborations with many of his musical partners. Nate will be touring quite a bit over the next while with his band, so be sure to catch them when you can!You can get all the latest info on Nate and all his projects, records and amazing set of videos at <a href="https://www.natesmithdrums.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">natesmithdrums.com</a>Enjoy my conversation with Nate Smith!This season is brought to you by our main sponsors <a href="https://www.larrivee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Larivée Guitars</a>, <a href="https://www.audeze.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Audeze</a>, <a href="https://www.izotope.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Izotope</a>, <a href="https://www.fabfilter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FabFilter</a>, and <a href="https://www.chasebliss.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chase Bliss</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
