His Kinfolk albums mapped out a jazz world shot through with soul and funk, and Live-Action pushes that idea further, treating every track like a scene with a different guest cast. Jazz, R\u0026amp;B, soul and hip-hop all share the same stage, held together by his supple, deep-pocket drumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guest list is a big part of the fun. \"Automatic\" features the honeyed voice of Lalah Hathaway, while \"Magic Dance\" brings together guitarist Lionel Loueke and Snarky Puppy's Michael League for a bright, rhythmic workout. \"Big Fish\" pairs Smith with vocal group säje for intricate, jaw-dropping harmonies, and \"Undefeated\" adds trumpeter Marquis Hill and rapper Jswiss to the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor listeners who like their jazz with plenty of head-nodding swagger, Live-Action is a joy. The deluxe edition simply means more time in the room with a remarkable band of friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478824689969,"sku":"3700187692117","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Nate_Smith-Live-Action_Deluxe_Edition_2LP.jpg?v=1794395727","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/nate-smith-live-action-deluxe-edition-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
