Episode 64: Nathan East. One of the most recorded musicians of all time, and truly one of the greatest humans—that's Nathan East. I had the best time hanging out with him, diving into his perspective and stories, and cracking up along the way. We talk about his 40-year relationship with Eric Clapton, recording some of the biggest songs ever, and co-writing one of my personal favorite records. His outlook on life is incredible, and I believe that's a huge part of why he's had nonstop opportunities since his teenage musician years. Nathan has played on over 2,000 recordings with legends like Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Stevie Wonder, George Harrison, Kenny Loggins, Daft Punk, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock…the list goes on and on. As a bassist, he's been half of the groove behind a laundry list of the greatest drummers of all time: Vinnie Colaiuta, Ringo, Ndugu Chancler, Jeff Porcaro, Phil Collins, Harvey Mason, John JR Robinson, and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation with the one-and-only Nathan East! I tried my best to make it special from every other interview he's done. Much love! ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

John JR Robinson is officially known as the world’s most recorded drummer. When I asked John just how many recordings he had played drums on, he told me he believed it was in the low five figures. John’s incredible drumming journey began at age 8. After learning the fundamentals and growing up on the drums, John went on to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. John’s big break came while touring with his own band 1978. After Rufus and Chaka Khan attended one of the shows John was hired as the drummer for Rufus & Chaka and moved out to LA to finish the Rufus & Chaka Khan world tour. Later in the same year, John was introduced to Quincy Jones. Quincy asked if John was available for studio sessions outside of Rufus & Chaka. John said “yes, of course!” and a short time after John was in the studio recording drums for Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall album. Since doing Off The Wall, John’s phone has literally been ringing...off the wall! JR went on to record on some of the most iconic albums and songs of all time including: We Are The World, All Night Long, You Are and Say You Say Me by Lionel Richie, I’m So Excited and Slow Hand by the Pointer Sisters, I’m Just A Gigolo and California Girls by David Lee Roth, Higher Love, The Finer Things and Back In The Highlife by Steve Winwood, Express Yourself by Madonna, Off The Wall, Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, Workin Day and Night and Bad by Michael Jackson, Natalie Cole’s,”Stardust” and Change The World by Eric Clapton, Quincy Jones’ The Dude, Q’s Jook Joint and From Q With Love, Give Me The Night from George Benson just to name a few. In the 1983 John won a Grammy with Rufus and Chaka Khan for “Ain’t Nobody”. JR has two solo CDs, Funkshui (2004) and Platinum (2010) on his own label, Homecourt Records, and another CD, Rivers Of Paradise, with his band, TRW, released through Frontiers Records. JR continues to produce a range of projects and maintains a recording studio in Thousand Oaks, CA, where he continues to add his hit making groove and feel on numerous hits, movies and jingles.

Over the years there have been a handful of drummers that have reached the ultimate plateau of first call rhythm makers who are called on to deliver the best grooves for the greatest producers and artists. If you’re thinking of a few, mostly likely John Robinson is on the list. From Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’ to Quincy Jones’ ‘The Dude’; from Smokey Robinson’s ‘One Heartbeat’ to Anita Baker’s ‘Rapture’; from Joe Sample’s ‘Spellbound’ to Ricky Lee Jone’s ‘Flying Cowboys’, you’ll find his uniquely experienced groove added to each hit. Because of his ability to deliver the right feel for the right project, he has been one of Quincy Jones’ go-to drummers since 1979, and also Barbra Streisand’s since 1993. He’s been pegged as one of the most recorded drummers in history, and a look at his discography will leave you convinced. As a global drummer, J.R. Robinson is leaving his mark not only in the U.S., but also internationally. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome John ‘JR’ Robinson.
