"The Streisand Sessions last week were absolutely breathtaking!  The songs, arrangements, orchestra, her voice, all magic!" - Nathan East

Nathan East is always up to something special. Just recently he was the music director for the annual Yamaha Corporate Kick-off concert where he performed with Fourplay, Kirk Whalum, Jonathan Butler, Chaka Khan, Ben Folds, and Ruben Studdard among others. Before that he was playing bass at the Ali Celebrity Fight Charity event in Phoenix with another star studded lineup which included Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, and David Foster.

And as you can see in the picture here, he's also been busy in the studio with the one and only Barbara Streisand! Recording at the Thomas Newman Scoring Stage at Fox Studios in Los Angeles, he sent us some candid photos from the studio sessions, and as he wrote to us: “She's still amazing!!” - as if there were ever a question.
