The incomparable Nate Smith has helped invigorate the Jazz scene over the last two decades with his visceral and deep-rooted style of drumming. From work with Jose James, Dave Holland, and Chris Potter, to his Grammy nominated debut album, KINFOLK: Postcards from Everywhere, Nate is on the scene. It seems that every day another musician or fan posts a video of Nate behind the kit, in awe of the style and and polish of his work. Now, Nate has prepared a solo drumset album dubbed Pocket Change – 11 improvised drum tracks of groove and feel, and of course technique.
Pocket Change will be released in three formats – Collector’s Vinyl, A Creators software package from Loop Loft/Native Instruments, and in digital download/streaming worldwide. Start right here for the single and find your spot.
‘The idea of the album is to use (seemingly) simple grooves as a launching pad … My goal was to develop improvised thematic ideas within groove context to create a storytelling arc.’ (Nate Smith)
