ABOUT
Father & Son create
a generational jazz showcase
A VERY SPECIAL DEBUT ALBUM
Father Son is the long-awaited realization of a dream about bringing bass, keyboards,
and a passion for jazz music, together.
FATHER SON, is a new collaboration by legendary bassist Nathan East and his wunderkind 25 year old pianist/organist son Noah. This generational jazz duo showcased the fusion of their talents in April 2025 when they debuted their first album. The work captures the intimacy of jazz duo and trio formats, as well as the powerful spirit of rhythm & blues that both father and son live and breath.
With the release of FATHER SON, Nathan and Noah showcase their rich interplay and chemistry, joining an illustrious group of many famous musician fathers and their sons across all genres: Ringo and Zak Starkey, Bob and Jakob Dylan, Joshua and Dewey Redmond, the Marsalis family, Bob & Ziggy Marley, plus countless 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.
From Nathan: “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.”
From Noah: “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.”
