Nate Smith LIve-Action (Deluxe)

Grammy-nominated drummer Nate Smith, known for his deep groove and genre-blending style, has worked with legends like Pat Metheny and José James, and wowed millions with his viral drum videos. Following acclaimed projects like ‘KINFOLK: Postcards from Everywhere’ and ‘Pocket Change’, Smith returns with a new album, continuing his journey through jazz, R&B and beyond.
Nate Smith is a polymath musician - bandleader, composer, producer and virtuosic drummer - whose groundbreaking work as a recording artist and performer in multiple genres has made him a unique figure in popular culture and one of the most in-demand players of our generation.
The album features performances from horn players Josh Johnson and Marquis Hill; the rapper JSWISS; guitarists Charlie Hunter and Lionel Loueke; bassists Michael League, Ben Williams, and CARRTOONS; keyboardists DJ Harrison and Keifer; the group säje and vocalist Jermaine Holmes; and Lalah Hathaway, who sings an unsurprisingly daring cover of ‘Automatic’, the 1984 hit for The Pointer Sisters, reharmonizing and recontextualizing the track alongside Smith.
