      He seems nice, sure. But what would he say if you went up to him and asked for some spare change?
      Generosity (or lack thereof) is a far greater judgement of a person's character than their success.

      @@SpaceCattttt Well, I enrol in a course with him. His only job is to help us with our playing. Next year, I will be going to a summer school and that includes an application. I asked him for help. Not only did he personally email me about helping me, he even offered a letter of recommendation. If that's not generous then I don't know what is. (Not trying to attack you btw just some insight on the man)

But he wants us to become his children and not only his creation.

    I met this althele person at the Manchester downtown Hilton in the Gym locker room. He put his pound and the locker would not give him the key. I offer him my pound since I was leaving. He asked me why I was in my Manchester. I told him I was and IT manager and I asked him what he did and he said that he was playing base in a band. I asked him was he playing for the wedding that day at the Hilton. He said No I am playing for Herbie Hancock. My next words were that I saw Eric Clapton 1993 and he had this Great base player by the name Of Nathan East and he sang the Steve Winwood song (Find My way home) better than the original. His next words were I am Nathan East and I did not realize I was that Famous. He asked Me if I would like to come to the show that evening and i am like sure. When I got the ticket from the box office counter there were backstage pass and center 7 row seats. Herbie and Nathan played for about three hours it seems. One of the great shows I have ever seen besides Eric Clapton with Nathan East. This a true story.

      Yeah, but Nathan's net worth is apparently 2 million dollars, and his house cost 2 million dollars.
      So I suspect that he has to be constantly working to make ends meet.
      Compare that with asshole rappers who have a handful of hits (at best) and still make more money
      than Nathan's made over 30 years of gruelling tours and studio work.

    First time I noticed Nathan East was in the early 80s. He played on Hubert Law's album and it featured one of his songs. I can still hear the opening riffs of that wonderful bass solo. After that, he did the bass column for Guitar Player magazine. Although he had much hair back then, he doesn't look that much different today.

    One of my favorite bassists. Saw him back in the early 90's with the original Foreplay (with Lee Ritenour). Amazing show. Considering what he has done and all the amazing players he's played with it would take 20 minutes to read off his resume.
