Bassist Nathan East, founding member of jazz quartet Fourplay, will perform in Korea on Feb. 26.

The legendary bass player’s performance comes after the Jan. 27 release of his second solo album “Reverence,” featuring collaborations with Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Chick Corea. 

The album debuted at No.1 on Billboard‘s jazz albums and contemporary jazz albums charts.

East has recorded numerous works with the likes of Clapton, Collins, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Kenny Loggins. His recent work includes recording the bass line of the 2013 smash hit “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, which won “Record of the Year” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” at the 56th annual Grammy Awards.

“This concert will feature (East) playing songs from his first solo album including “Daft Funk,” “101 Eastbound,” “Sir Duke,” the highlight of the 2014 Grammies “Get Lucky,” along with songs from the “Reverence” such as “Lifecycle” and “Serpentine Fire,” an official from the Korea concert’s promoter U&I Communications said.

The concert will also feature Michael Thompson and Jack Lee on guitar, Steve Ferrone on drums, Kaleb James on keyboard, Norihito Sumitomo on EWI and keyboards, and Nathan’s brother James East on bass.

The event will be held at 6 p.m. at the KEPCO Art Center in Seocho-dong, southern Seoul. Tickets range from 55,000 won to 99,000 won.
