Nate Smith is already held in high regard, but his new album further cements his status as a modern drumming polymath. The Grammy-nominated virtuoso fuses his usual influences - jazz, r&b and beyond - with effortless grooves that build on acclaimed projects like KINFOLK and Pocket Change. Here he is joined by luminaries including Lalah Hathaway, Michael League, Lionel Loueke and Charlie Hunter as he navigates expansive sonic terrain as bandleader, composer and producer. Horns, keyboards and bass intertwine with inventive rhythms, while Jermaine Holmes, JSWISS and saje add rich textures and Hathaway's daring reinterpretation of The Pointer Sisters' 'Automatic' really underlines Smith's visionary approach. Seamlessly blending mastery and experimentation, this record showcases why Nate Smith remains one of the most venerated musicians today.
