Playing an instrument at virtuoso level while holding a full on conversation with the composer is not an easy task. This man has levels of skill that very few humans have ever possessed.
You're sorta right, but not really. When you play such an instrument at virtuoso level, carrying on a full conversation with the composer is a breeze. Muscle memory takes care of the instrument at such a point.
@@doc2398 good point. I’m more just blown away by the skill of being able to carry on playing while thinking about another task. I can’t fathom that level of coordination lol
More like 2 musical geniuses just having a chat. Nathan is incredibly underrated as a musician; he's really humble but the fact is that he's been involved with so much great music that it's bonkers
I love how Nathan E. can stand there holding a conversation with Steve Wonder... and not miss a single note!!!!!! That song is milestone for any advanced bass player. Nathan casually plays it like he owns it!!!!!!! Total pro in every sense of the word!!!!
@BELIEVE in JESUS Why do you God perverts always seem to show up . There is no god there is no jesus you live in a fantasy land knock it off grow the hell up
Playing and talking becomes as easy as walking and talking. It becomes muscles memory. It isn't that difficult once you can play without having to think about anything. It's actually harder to sing whilst playing.
Curtis Clark This clip made me realize how nice a 6 string bass can sound. I’m so used to people playing ridiculous slap and tapping parts on them so it was refreshing seeing it used more like a guitar in this vid.
If you’ve never heard of Nathan, have a look at his discography, it will blow your socks off! I saw Stevie once in Birmingham in the 1990s, from the opening drum beat the whole audience was in its feet (including thousands of Middle Aged white guys like myself who don’t normally dance in any way shape or form) never witnessed anything like it before or since.
If you can make the shyest guy in the crowd get up and dance because he just can't hold himself back, THAT'S A REAL MUSICIAN. One that makes people transcend themselves. And that's art that cures minds and souls.
Was also there, with my younger sister ; should of been my Wife but we had a barney ! Never forget that night, just hope I get a chance to see my idol once more. Stevie, your music is in my soul and my heart.
Cool. My brother lives in Long Beach and he went twice. Bought a softshell case from one of the Australian dealers. If there's one in the Midwest, I'll have to check it out.
@@Blackdog4818, Clapton, Madonna,Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan and he has a,Smooth Jazz group FOURPLAY. Yeah, he's been around and certainly earned his spot as a top bassist in the industry.
My god... The pressure of a legend walking in to hear your perform their song and try and chat you up in the meantime. You've got to be a bit of a legend yourself to hold it down so cool.
Bassists like Nathan East and Pino Palidino are sought after by every leading musician. He certainly isn't feeling any pressure working with his old friend
I remember Nathan playing in high school in San Diego. He was awesome even then. His younger brother also played well and I think is\was a musical producer.
Amazing. Absolutely kills it and all while smiling at the crowd and chatting to the bloke that wrote the song. He's just such a talent. Love watching Nathan play.
The guy is blessed and is givin Joy to the people around him and probably always CHILL (idk him but I can see it from a musician point of view) ... go Nathan
I saw him at LA NAMM 2016. Always looks cool like that. Him and another guy were playing through two cranked amps before they opened the show. They already had a huge crowd. They were both absolutely shredding it's one of the coolest things I ever seen
I had designed a new kind of high-end solid core guitar cable. So they were basically a couple of booths down from us and maybe one row over or maybe write down from us where I could just directly see them the whole time. I can't really remember it's been so long ago. But I went over there and watched him several. We got visited by so many guitar players I really couldn't get away for very long but yeah he was an absolutely unbelievable for former. Especially when that other guy came over and they started kind of like cutting heads you know like crossroads or whatever on the bass? I don't know who the other guy was but they were clearly having a great time rocking over there
I love that guy!!! Went on a mission to get him to sign a couple EC CD’s and a bass... August and a couple others. He was do blown away (I think) that someone was chasing him for autographs at the Four Season’s in Las Colinas where I heard he was staying... he asked if I wanted him to hang on to the CD’s and get ‘The Man’s’ (as he put it) autographs on them too!! Of course I said yes... I picked up the signed CD’d from the concierge at the hotel a day or two later and still have them to this day as some of my most prized possessions.. especially the Nathan signed bass. He’s SUCH a nice guy!!! If he scores a 100 for bass, he’s a 10,000 as a human being!! Totally kind and humble dude. If the world was full of guys like him... we would have world peace!! Lol😃
If you ask Nathan a question his reply will be "Let me lay it down for you bro. He is funk he is soul he is jazz he is rock. He's the bass player all the other bass players wanna be
Met Nathan after a 4 play concert in Pittsburgh pa, he answered all my questions and never got bored or irritated...he was a very cool guy and an amazing player
olddogg eleventy2 amazingly nice. Met him twice! This time he friended me a couple days after Namm and sent me a personal thank you for the footage. Now that’s a superstar thing to do imo. I was flattered, he would do that.
@@FinalResonanceTV That's great to hear. Thanks for responding to my comment and confirming my impression of Nathan. What a kick to get an acknowledgement like that. Thanks again.
My brother was on a high-rise hotel elevator when Stevie and 2 guys from his entourage shared the ride down to the lobby. He dropped a stack of maybe 20-30 musical charts that spread out everywhere on the elevator floor. Instinctually my brother dropped down to assist Stevie in retrieving his scattered charts and a large black man grabbed my brother under the arm pit and brought him back up saying, "Let the brother get his things!" Stevie said, "Thank you" to my brother for wanting to help, but just as though he was fully sighted, he retrieved every last chart without even feeling around for them. It was like he heard where each sheet landed and had mapped them out in his head. Even back when this man was "Little Stevie Wonder" at age 12, his music gave me goosebumps.
He can see. That's how he caught that mic stand. It's also why he was looking straight at the fret board in this video. It's all a con, he took over Ray Charles job.
I've seen Nathan East live with both Eric Clapton and Toto and his musicianship is simply outstanding. Plus you can see his happiness when he plays, he's constantly smiling! I met him a couple of times after the shows and he was always very kind and caring to the fans signing stuff, posing for pictures and chatting along with everybody, always with that infectious smile on his face. A true class act!
Beautiful to see this guy playing Stevie's music so well 'cos his music is emotive and timeless. And so good to see Stevie as he said he was stepping back from live performances to have surgery to take care of something, probably hence the mask. We want Stevie around for as long as possible 💜
Stevie is telling him one of several possible things: “Play something we can dance to.” “Play my favorite song.” “Can I sing?” “Can you please turn down.”
I remember being at NAMM in the late 2000s. Tons of stars everywhere. We saw a massive crowd and went over and it was Stevie Wonder. The cool thing was that everyone was being super respectful and keeping distance but EVERYONE was giddy!
John Robinson, the Iowa precision groove machine and one of the most wanted drummers in history, once said Nathan East and Leland Sklar are his favourite bass players.
i worked the namm show for 2 of my old jobs from 1996-2016. you see alot of famous musicians there and in the late 90's i seen stevie wonder. he was in the pro audio section surrounded by 3 rings of people (i.e. security) i didn't meet him but i was in awe that "sir duke" was in the building.
Nathan East has played with just about everybody except Motorhead. Clapton, Phil Collins, Herbie Hancock, just to name a few. He shows up all over the place.
@@britishpatriot812 Well on bass and guitar key changes are no problem, literally no problem, on piano, everything is wired in C major/A minor. So for Stevie Wonder those effort key changes are a royal pain in the ass haha.
marshalcraft just because the keys are laid out doesnt mean stevie has a hard time with other keys. Dude is a master he can probably play circles around you in every key
@@Ottophil I was simply stating that piano, all the white keys are c major genius. Enjoy sucking at playign musical instruments Hugh tube, comments on youtube won't change that haha.
It looks like Stevie is not just doing a celebrity appearance, the Dude is checking out the sound on those Genelecs. Nathan moves down from the high notes to demonstrate the low end and Stevie is all ears! Still cares about the sound, ever the professional.
Stevie wearing already a mask...this is January 2020...obviously the smartest person at the show and had all people there and later been as vigilant, well who knows ...wonderful. musical genius and LIFE genius. God that Nathan is a groove machine...awesome
Also after it was all over Nathan being the class act he is, he asked me if I could airdrop my footage to him. I was like are you kidding? Of course! Later he contacted me personally on FB and thanked me again!
I know I'm super late, but I've Never heard of this Amazing Musician before I saw this clip in 2021. But late is Always better than Never 😍 I loved everything about this clip, especially how the Bodyguards/Security suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as did the folks who were obviously somehow a part of Mr. Wonder's entourage who sat near this fabulous musician like they had tickets to this concert. The fact that Mr. Wonder himself showed up to 100% support this Artist with no fanfare makes me even more of a Fan of his than I've been since my childhood, if that is even possible. that beautiful guitar is everything I hope to have if/when I ever learn to play the guitar. Many Thanks for this post❗:)🎹🎼🎙💿📀💽🎸💯🎟🎫🏆☯️✝️▶️🔀🔁🔂🔄📶💕🤍🙌🏽🌏🌎🌍🌐

Yeah, I couldn't do it if I practiced for years and didn't have any distractions. It's an inborn talent.
I can't even talk and play, let alone talk with Stevie Wonder...
@@PhilRushworth I’m a horn player so definitely can’t talk and play lol :)
East is just having a casual conversation with one of the musical giants of the 20th century while absolutely killing the groove.
No big deal.
More like 2 musical geniuses just having a chat. Nathan is incredibly underrated as a musician; he's really humble but the fact is that he's been involved with so much great music that it's bonkers
Nathan and Stevie go way back. They've performed on each other's albums.
Fellow zebulon I salute you
Toto only works with the best and they were blessed to have him from 2010-2014
Love how stevie is 'blind' but walks right to him, knows who itis without any assistance etc...just like he was able to see the writing on the wall...
Playing with a huge smile on his face. Nathan has so much love for music and is so happy in his prime. What a bass line aswel
I love how Nathan E. can stand there holding a conversation with Steve Wonder... and not miss a single note!!!!!! That song is milestone for any advanced bass player. Nathan casually plays it like he owns it!!!!!!! Total pro in every sense of the word!!!!
I love how Nathan is always smiling. He brings joy to any band!
The spirit of 'Easy Lover'
Stevie must be some kind of Genie.
If you play his music prodigiously well he will just appear.

@@spydaman2022 This guy started playing this because he knew Stevie was there.
It’s his version of the Batman signal.
Nevermind me, I'm just casually playing this awesome funky baseline perfectly while talking to a legend and smiling - Nathan East
Baseline?
@@ArdyantoMangesa autocorrect. But now we all know that you know the correct spelling of bassline. 👏👏👏
Stevie could have said the same thing about Nathan
Nathan himself is also a legend
I can't even sing when I am playing, he's just having a conversation...
When your bass face is a permanent smile you know you’re doing what you love. Consummate performer right there.

@BELIEVE in JESUS Why do you God perverts always seem to show up . There is no god there is no jesus you live in a fantasy land knock it off grow the hell up
No sax player could do that.
yeah, when i slaughter animals i have a permanent smile on my face as well. i love doing it.
Yeah.. like Eddie Van Halen
Definatly a professional. Able to play flawlessly while someone is talking to him. Listening and laughing and plays on . Bravo!
hes playing over a track.
@@tricktaylor1983 yes he is, and he didn't miss a beat.
While Stevie Wonder is talking to him* the fact he played stevies song without getting nervous is impressive as hell.
Playing and talking becomes as easy as walking and talking. It becomes muscles memory.
It isn't that difficult once you can play without having to think about anything.
It's actually harder to sing whilst playing.
such smooth playing with AMAZING TONE. This sound is just beautiful.
Nathan East is 64 years old! He could pass as 40
Bass keeps young
@@pestonoodle1 + Black don't crack lol
Damn!
What 40 year olds are you hanging out with?
Wearing caps can do that to a person.
Nathan smiles constantly even at home while practicing
I was searching this comment
That's how you learn it... practice
A person that always smiles is genuinely a cool person.
The Sir Duke is definitely smile inducing music! Play on Mr. Nathan, we love to hear you🥰
That's beyond talent, beyond genius for that matter , just amazing , thoroughly enjoyed this video 😎
So refreshing to see a bass player simply play the bass with their fingers and not go crazy popping for 20 minutes.
Couldn't agree more. Although the song doesn't lend itself to slap, but I have seen it done tastefully.
whew and don’t get me started on the drummers🤣🤣🤣🤣
Curtis Clark This clip made me realize how nice a 6 string bass can sound. I’m so used to people playing ridiculous slap and tapping parts on them so it was refreshing seeing it used more like a guitar in this vid.

he NEVER looks at the bass. he ALWAYS smiles when he play. Technique and passion.

It's just like when old friends meet

Two Legends in one place! May they both live long and prosper and keep on rockin‘ for many, many years to come!
Nathan is one of those guys who smiles when talking..he probably smiles 60 percent of lifetime..
Nathan East is a world class beast, with a resume that is overflowing with big names and amazing music.
There once was a man named East, who laid the groove down like a Beast..
And humble as anything! Met him on a flight to Fiji once and he was so relaxed! Didn't know who he was back then regrettably!
Nathan East is like the Ronaldinho of Bass. Always playing with a smile on his face
East got great teeth though, lol.

Nathan East is a legend. I remember the Clapton and friends concert he did and many more. Awesome
And with Knopfler !
That’s incredible coordination to play at that level and have a nice little chat with Stevie simultaneously.
Mad Respect for Nathan East! He lays it down PERIOD
he's pretty solid
And doesn't stop playing just because he is in a coversation with Stevie Wonder.

Wow I have become so accustom to seeing people in masks I didn’t even notice he was wearing one! Very interesting, I wonder what that was about
First case in U.S. was January 21st. The day after this video was posted!
Also why he caught that mic on stage
If I am not mistaken...At that time he was protecting himself before or after his kidney transplant.
YES i was going to comment this before i saw yours. He knew something!
If this was 8 months ago Stevie was just ahead of the curve with the mask.
Stevie has been fooling us all along, he can see into the future.
Maybe he just didn't wanna catch NAMMthrax lol
This was in January 2020, COVID appeared in China in December 2019, I think he was just extra cautious already.
I remember being at NAMM in the late 2000s. Tons of stars everywhere. We saw a massive crowd and went over and it was Stevie Wonder. The cool thing was that everyone was being super respectful and keeping distance but EVERYONE was giddy!
Not only is this man extremely happy when he plays, he doesn't even have to look at the neck... wow, what a player! Good on you Nathan!

I hate the sound of it. Just stick with the original key.
stevie is that much of a genius, he can even predict Global Pandemics
Being the guy that gets to walk around with Stevie would be such a chill job.
I think it would be stressful but still fun.
Started playing Bass when i was 17. 1986, Nathan East you are my Idol. Not to mention a Bass GOD. Cheers to you.
I went to high school with Nathan and remember him in the jazz band. Even then we were saying damn, the dude can play!
Two of the coolest cats around. Both in a league of their own in what they do .
It is really good to see Nathan again. It has been a while. He is the only one I have seen who plays like Ox.
Love this guy, he is always smiling, wished I was there!! Saw him with Fourplay, very talented!

Nathan has got to be a Filipino, he's so good and he smiles so much!
This is what makes life worth living for moments like these...
I met Nathan in Bahrain in 2014 with EC etc. Super cool gentleman. First saw him in 1990 at the RAH on the "14 Nights" gig.Effortless ability!!
Mr. East is a 'Wonder' himself, I think Mr. Wonder was equally surprised.
WHAT THE FUCK !!!
WHERE IS Victor Wooten ???
Kind of an inspiring video. Pretty much my favorite bass player of all time, running into Stevie Wonder...
I was in shock and lucky enough to be filming
Also after it was all over Nathan being the class act he is, he asked me if I could airdrop my footage to him. I was like are you kidding? Of course! Later he contacted me personally on FB and thanked me again!
I wish I was nearly as happy as he is. One day
Such talent! He's not even looking at the fretboard while playing. Great control!
Bruh!! Same thing I noticed.... He's gifted to be able to play those higher notes so effortlessly. Obviously, he practiced a ton as well.
thats how all good guitarists play.... if you are looking at the frets, you are not good.....
The greatest Nathan East & Stieve Wonder. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎼🎼🎼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Salutes from Brazil!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
How amazing to have the man himself show up!. Good work!
I love how he’s apologizing for the arrangement. “This is Tom Scott’s arrangement.”

I don't think he apologized for it; he uses it all the time... th-cam.com/video/SoVTBWbIFVU/w-d-xo.html
That’s a great bass player
The most successful bassist in history. His success is fascinating.
Grey Fox Yes it’s called endorsements and stocks. Not from performing.
Maybe parallel by Marcus Miller but both are phenomenal
ZENSIBLE Maybe you could do a google search instead of being such a toolbox?
Wow. Stevie was a man ahead of his time. In 2020 still :)
Nathan's love for music is infectious.
Esse homem canta muito ele é especial Glória à Deus sucesso viu
I know I'm super late, but I've Never heard of this Amazing Musician before I saw this clip in 2021. But late is Always better than Never 😍 I loved everything about this clip, especially how the Bodyguards/Security suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as did the folks who were obviously somehow a part of Mr. Wonder's entourage who sat near this fabulous musician like they had tickets to this concert. The fact that Mr. Wonder himself showed up to 100% support this Artist with no fanfare makes me even more of a Fan of his than I've been since my childhood, if that is even possible. that beautiful guitar is everything I hope to have if/when I ever learn to play the guitar. Many Thanks for this post❗:)🎹🎼🎙💿📀💽🎸💯🎟🎫🏆☯️✝️▶️🔀🔁🔂🔄📶💕🤍🙌🏽🌏🌎🌍🌐
There is a living legend when i was a young man stevies songs are on my side, i love his music about 40 years!!
Simplesmente Sr. Wonder... 🔥🎹🔥
No one told Stevie he's THE ONLY ONE WEARING A MASK.
