James Hall on Hammond Organ- "Release Your Power"

The legendary organist James Hall plays a song from the VOC sophomore album at Stefon Hawkins and the New Hope Fellowship Choir's anniversary. Enjoy!

James Hall is in a zone all by himself. Techniques unmatched.

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

REAL TALK

[@garrygivens1680]

His talent as a director/writer is talked so much about that I think that sometimes his skillfulness on the organ gets overlooked. It's almost like he's the Nat King Cole of gospel. Nat was such a great song stylist that often his his piano playing skills got overshadowed.

James putting on a clinic on Brooklyn style Organ.

[@smoovay]

No school like the old school. Always enjoy the way true musicians do not have to overpower the choir.

[@jamiedukesjr.6012]

[@ketofitforlife2917]

People always putting someone down. Yes, the man has personal issues like everyone else. It is not an excuse to sin, but CLEARLY, this man is very gifted and talented, so let him use what he has to glorify God. Whether god accepts his orthopathy and praise is up to God! Blessed be the name of the Lord.

[@christopherlangley8770]

james hall is a bad man on the organ

[@johnniepaul685]

+Christopher Langley He really is.

[@AnthonyFranklinIsr]

What a wonderful treat to listen and at the same time see the keys being manipulated, operated upon, and played; whatever you want to call it, it is fluid, it is masterful, and it paints a indescribable picture that's highly appreciated. Sure, many of us musicians can study it, and learn to play it, and cameras can take pictures of other paintings, but it's not as inherently beautiful as the original arranger/creator of the master piece presenting it. I've been listening to James Hall music off and on since 95 or 96; it created a whole class of music. In the 90s, it gave ear musicians something to work towards, and it's still blessing us decades later.

[@laronrhodes]

THAT'S THAT OLD SCHOOL ORGAN PLAYING! These cats nowadays know nothing about this. Just killer chords none of that extra
