Nate Smith is the rare drummer that is so exceptional that the become a star all by themselves. He has produced brilliant records spanning from a solo drum set albums to his Kinfolk series that brings together his close collaborators. His latest output, Live-Action, is a full-on kaleidoscope featuring a different line-up of master musicians, including Charlie Hunter, Lalah Hathaway, and Micheal League of Snarky Puppy, on every track. In his headlining performance of the Equinox Jazz Festival, he’ll be joined by James Francies on piano and keyboards (Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, the Roots), Josh Johnson (Jeff Parker, Makaya McCraven, SML) on sax, and Anna Butterss (SML, Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird) on bass.
