{"product_id":"smith-nate-live-action","title":"Smith, Nate - Live-Action","description":"\u003cp\u003eGRAMMY-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 continues his journey through jazz, R\u0026amp;B and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the most renowned names in the jazz scene have joined him on the project, including Lalah Hathaway, Michael League, Lionel Loueke and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven though the album is collaborative, Nate Smith keeps the sound cohesive through discipline: “I wanted to make a record that sounded like it was recorded on a cassette in my bedroom,” he says. “I limited my options. I used analog gear. I used the same instruments throughout the album. I did two or three takes of each element, no copy and pastes or anything like that. All of the instruments on the album are played live, nothing is programmed or sequenced.” It is from this ethos that ‘Live-Action’ derives its name, and it is that spirit that makes Nate Smith himself a sought-after collaborator and one of music’s most creative minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Believe Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50344442396950,"sku":"RMX-51205","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50344442790166,"sku":"RMX-51206","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/ac1e974e975d53c5255a59ce8e8850e3_6e9e1ed1-40f8-40df-803e-8e1ab0f740d2.webp?v=1754309550","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/smith-nate-live-action","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
