Father Son album notes

With inspiring originals and beautifully reimagined classics, FATHER SON is a debut collaboration by legendary bassist Nathan East and his wunderkind 25 year old pianist/organist son Noah. It was released on April 18, 2025. The album captures the intimacy of the jazz duo and trio format and is infused with the powerful spirit of rhythm & blues.

Recorded at the legendary EastWest Studios in Los Angeles by GRAMMY®-winning engineer and producer Moogie Canazio, the work features guest artists and friends including Eric Clapton (with whom Nathan has toured for over four decades), famed flautist Hubert Laws, vocalists Merry Clayton, Billy Valentine and many more.

With the release of FATHER SON, Nathan and Noah showcase their rich interplay and chemistry and join an illustrious history of famous fathers and son musicians, including Ringo and Zak Starkey, Bob and Jakob Dylan, Joshua and Dewey Redmond, the Marsalis family, 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.
