LIVE-ACTION quickly made an impact, earning two GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Arrangement, Instruments \u0026amp; Vocals for the track featuring säje.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith LIVE-ACTION Deluxe, Smith expands on the album's live energy, staying true to his organic, hands-on approach while once again collaborating with top voices in contemporary jazz, including Braxton Cook. Nate Smith envisioned LIVE-ACTION as a producer-driven project inspired by the legacy of Quincy Jones. \"As a producer, I wanted to activate all the relationships I've built over the past five or six years, especially since the pandemic, many of them through social media,\" he explains. The album features an all-star cast of collaborators including Josh Johnson and Marquis Hill, rapper JSWISS, guitarists Charlie Hunter and Lionel Loueke, bassists Michael League, Ben Williams, and CARRTOONS, keyboardists DJ Harrison and Keifer, the vocal group säje, singer Jermaine Holmes, and Lalah Hathaway. Hathaway delivers a standout performance on a bold reimagining of the Pointer Sisters' 1984 classic Automatic, fully reharmonized and reworked alongside Smith. While LIVE-ACTION is highly collaborative, Smith maintains a strong sense of cohesion through intentional creative limitations. \"I wanted the record to feel like it was recorded to tape in my bedroom. I limited myself on purpose, using analog gear and the same instruments throughout. I did just two or three takes per part, with no copy and paste or studio tricks. Everything you hear was played live. Nothing is programmed or sequenced.\" With the release of LIVE-ACTION Deluxe, Nate Smith builds on that momentum, introducing new collaborations and previously unreleased performances while celebrating the success of the original album, which earned two GRAMMY® Award nominations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Now\u003cbr\u003e2 Undefeated\u003cbr\u003e3 Automatic\u003cbr\u003e4 Magic Dance\u003cbr\u003e5 Big Fish\u003cbr\u003e6 Cough Drop\u003cbr\u003e7 Mother and Son\u003cbr\u003e8 Juke Joint\u003cbr\u003e9 Last Sight\u003cbr\u003e10 Supermoon\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 View from the Perch\u003cbr\u003e2 Hop, Skip, Jump\u003cbr\u003e3 Early Autumn\u003cbr\u003e4 All Is Fine\u003cbr\u003e5 Remains\u003cbr\u003e6 Undefeated [Instrumental]\u003cbr\u003e7 Automatic [Instrumental]\u003cbr\u003e8 Magic Dance [Instrumental]\u003cbr\u003e9 Big Fish [Instrumental]\u003cbr\u003e10 Juke Joint [Instrumental]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nate Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47750470271193,"sku":"3700187692117","price":40.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0468\/3425\/files\/3700187692117.jpg?v=1772144446","url":"https:\/\/drownedworldrecords.com\/products\/live-action-deluxe-lp","provider":"Drowned World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
