With inspiring originals and beautifully re-imagined classics, Father Son, the forthcoming debut collaboration by legendary bassist Nathan East and his wunderkind 24-year-old pianist/organist son Noah is set for release April 18th, 2025.

The album which captures the intimacy of the jazz duo and trio format, infused with the powerful spirit of rhythm & blues was recorded at the legendary EastWest Studios in Los Angeles by GRAMMY®-winning engineer and producer Moogie Canazio.

Guest artists appearing with Nathan and Noah are some of their famous friends and collaborators including Eric Clapton (with whom Nathan has toured for over four decades), famed flautist Hubert Laws, vocalists Merry Clayton and Billy Valentine and many more.

Nathan East stated: “As a father, you try to lead by example. Noah showed extraordinary talent from an early age and it’s been a joy to watch him grow into a sought-after artist in his own right. I couldn’t be more proud of the musician and person he has become, and this album is truly a dream come true.”

Noah East stated: “Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to witness my dad’s career up close. Growing up around so many different amazing musicians has provided me with a rich musical background, which has immensely shaped my playing. Recording this album together is an experience I will cherish forever.”

With special friends Eric Clapton, Hubert Laws, Merry Clayton, Seiko Matsuda, Billy Valentine, Jack Lee, Greg Phillinganes and more, after a quick vocal intro assurance that both musicians are ready, this musically expansive new recording opens on the veritably glistening Close to Home, the delightfully sculpted UTOPIANOA, the gently driven My Favorite Things and then come a beautifully addictive Yesterday and both the flourishing Reminisce and the soulfully R&B-hued Hard Times are brought forth.

Along next on this colorfully crafted new album is the delicately sumptuous Over The Rainbow and the uplifting Killer Joe and they are in turn backed seamlessly by an elegant, Gospel-imbibed Until You Come Back To Me, a rhythmically melodious How Deep Is Your Love and the late night sprightly jaunt of On the Sunny Side of the Street, the set coming to an all-too-soon close on the lush Postludium.

With the release of Father Son, Nathan and Noah showcase their rich interplay and chemistry and join an illustrious group of many famous musician fathers and their sons across all genres of music, including Ringo and Jake Starkey, Bob and Jakob Dylan, Joshua and Dewey Redmond, the Marsalis family, and Bob & Ziggy Marley, among many others.

Nathan brings his signature grooves, fluid runs and deep musicality to the project. For Noah, this is a powerful introduction to the jazz world, highlighting his soulful touch on piano and masterful command of the Hammond B3. Together they create a sound that is heartfelt and electrifying.
