Just like to inform you guys that there would be a Yamaha sponsored Bass clinic featuring Nathan East.

It will be held in JB New York hotel at March 20 from 3 to 5 pm. Supposedly a public holiday on that day and admission is free but seats need to be planned so you need to inform first.

PM me for contact details to who you can call to reserve your seats.

This is basically a Yamaha sponsored event. I am helping to spread the news so that there would be enough attendance so the event will be successful and not cancelled at the last minute, otherwise I also cannot attend if not enough people go.


FYI on Nathan East.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_East


"Nathan East (born December 8, 1955, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a jazz, R&B and rock bass player. Born to Thomas and Gwendolyn East, he was one of seven children (five boys and two girls) and raised in San Diego, California, where the family moved when he was four.

East first studied cello in seventh through ninth grades and played in his junior high school orchestra. At fourteen he developed an interest in bass guitar, playing in church groups and folk masses with his brothers in San Diego. He was active in his high school's music programs along with Top 40 bands. He has said his early influences included Ron Carter and Ray Brown on upright bass; and Paul McCartney, James Jamerson and Chuck Rainey on electric bass.

East has recorded, performed and co-written songs with Anita Baker, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Joe Satriani, Sting, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and David Benoit. He co-wrote "Easy Lover", a Number one hit, for Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. Nathan also appears on Andrea Bocelli's, Vivere:Live in Tuscany (2007). East has been a member of Eric Clapton's studio and touring bands from 1983 to 2005.[1]"

Checked out the Sunburst lineup and am surprised to find that Raul Midon is one of the performers. biggrin.gif

If you're wondering who Raul Midon is... he's a super talented singer/songwriter/guitarist who has a great voice and a great slap guitar technique...

I don't know if he would be having a clinic in KL before the one in JB or having one in KL after the one in JB. My information is only for the one he's having in JB.
