Jack Lee & Nathan East - Heart And Soul (2023) [Hi-Res]

“Heart and Soul” is a new concept album of spiritual melodies by legendary bass guitarist Nathan East and Korean Jazz guitarist Jack Lee. This album, a fusion of gospel ethos and jazz virtuosity, is a testament to the power of music to uplift and inspire, especially in these challenging times. This album transcends the traditional boundaries of the genre; it’s a narrative of hope and resilience, delivered through a rich tapestry of sounds and brilliant performances featuring acclaimed talents; Grammy Award winning pianist John Beasley, legendary drummer Steve Ferrone, and son of Nathan East and organ prodigy Noah East. Drawing on their extensive backgrounds, East and Lee channel their creativity to craft music that resonates deeply with the human spirit, encapsulating emotions we’ve all felt, yet often struggle to articulate. From haunting melodies of Bach’s “Joy of man’s desiring”, Gabriel Faure’s Libera Me (from Requiem suite), and Stevie Wonder’s “Have a Talk with God”, Paul Simon’s “Bridge over troubled water” to two heartfelt original compositions (“Heaven Knows” by Jack and “Heart and Soul” by Nathan), along with a very special passionate vocal performance by Japan’s star vocalist, Ayaka Hirahara, and a few contemporary popular gospels and hymns interpreted in unique and creative ways, East and Lee’s synergy and shared vision shines through these recordings with the contributions of the featured artists, and the overarching theme of hope, love and resilience. ”Heart and Soul” is more than just music; It is a glorious power of artistic collaboration and a celebration of the gospel spirit with rich palette of sounds and emotions, infusing the higher and broader messages of love and passion.
