AUDIO DISCLAIMER:
The vocal tracks may sound a bit distorted, unfortunately they were recorded with wireless mics and the Gain levels were a bit higher than what they needed to be. Not much I could do to fix it. Hope you can still enjoy the Live performance!!
I had such a good time playing and MD'ing for Easter 2023 at Abounding Grace Ministries (AGM). Pastor Chad Brown led us into an amazing rendition of a John P. Kee classic "Jesus is Real"!!! By far the funkiest, most exciting musical Easter I've had so far!!! Hope you enjoy.

BAND:

@Ms88Keyz Год назад

As a former head musician of a full church band, I fully appreciate how well you are leading your band! I wish the places I've played had thought of this set up where only the musicians can hear you in that mic and you can call out the chord changes. Awesome leadership in ministry!

@lanbuddyatgmail 2 месяца назад

As a keyboardist and someone who has led arrangements like this, there is a relaxed intensity of concentration going on here. His comfort level is refreshing but I am not fooled. He and his band are working. And they are working hard. Each of those call outs he uses is a pre-practiced set of moves and they used a lot of them…that’s not something that just happens. It’s a lot of brain power and experience and yes practice with the same group of people. I would hesitate to say that he is not focused on worship since this level of performance requires a lot of your attention. You would see these guys hearts in the rehearsal and every group I worked with genuinely wanted to give God a gift of excellence not just get some recognition from people…

This song 🎶 tends to be over-done by some musicians, especially the drums. But you guys kept your cool, and it came out clean sounding and beautiful. I could hear all of the music, and all of the singers. Pure 🔥

@TheJazzPianist Год назад

I actually had a chance to talk about this with John P Kee, this video went viral on social media and he connected with me. He appreciated our humility in simply delivering the song in the powerful yet clean way it's supposed to be delivered. When the music is already written that well, there's no point in changing it too much or trying to show off over it. Just let the song speak for itself. I'm happy it spoke to you. Thank you for your kind words!!
