SLO Jazz Festival is sponsoring two films at the SLO IFF:
Nathan East
Co-sponsored by SLO Jazz Festival & Films for Good/Bob & Christine Williams
Whether you’re a fan, or have no idea who Nathan East is, you’ll enjoy this behind-the-scenes look into the career of one of the most influential bass players in modern music. While recording his first solo album last November, this making-of documentary was also part of the mix. Little did East know he would end up starring in a full-blown fascinating film chronicling his career from a wide-eyed 16-year-old touring with Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra to Grammy Award-winning session player for Daft Punk, Beyoncé, Barbra Streisand, Eric Clapton and more. Includes interviews with colleagues Phil Collins, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, and many more. USA. 85 min.
Nathan East will attend the Thursday afternoon screening.
Director: Chris Gero
Writer: Sara Bachler, Chris Gero
Trailer
Thursday, March 17th at 1:00pm, Palm Theatre
Sunday, March 20th at 10:00am, Mission Cinemas
