I’m blown away at the complexity of their playing and yet it seems like child’s play to these two brilliant musicians. And shout out to the bass player and the drummer. They killed it too!

[@priormission389]

micknificent , they kept live!

[@porte568]

micknificent what complexity? He's just playing in circles, you might to listen to Jesus Molina, Herbie Hancock, Corey Henry for complexity

[@stretchipress]

Very, very well-said.

[@porte568]

micknificent what lol? This is basic funk with a gospel fusion.

[@Diamond88keyz]

I cannot comprehend how they learn to play like this on such a high level...Oh God. My playing is so simple. I don't even know how to begin playing this way.

[@fureeviosekwofa1541]

[@Tides-of-Time-and-Space]

That bass line got me going. Killing it!

[@BTUNEB3]

Glenn Gibson has always been a dynamic player since the days of playing for pastors and conventions. The down side is that, many of these musicians never get the credit (both financially and recognition) they deserve. Many are taken advantage of. I believe Product endorsement is now the new norm for many of these incredible musicians. Companies and product developers are willing to compensate those willing and good enough to both demonstrate and endorse their products. Best wishes to the pro's on the block, all the best to you guys.

[@MrRyancangri]

YES!!!

[@daquetreed5522]

Absolutely true! Gospel musicians are always taken for granted and taken advantage of by churches which sucks because as a Christian I said I would never play for another church in my life. Half the time you don’t even get a thank you yet alone any compensation. The churches (especially the black churches) act like you’re obligated to give them your time and talent. I could tell you some stories.

[@MrRyancangri]

@@daquetreed5522 Bro, you haven't played for a Spanish church. lol. You want to talk about not getting paid? Shoot, I used to get $350 a Sunday for playing at a Black church, now I play for a Spanish church, and I don't get a dime!!! haha. It's all good cause I don't do it for the money, I do it for God!!!

[@daquetreed5522]

Ryan Candelario Ryan I feel you but I’ve been playing at black churches since I was a kid and never got paid at a single one lol. Bro I was even directing the band in one church and the a-hole pastor wouldn’t even give a thanks. God took that church away from him because he was all about his ego.

[@MrRyancangri]

@@daquetreed5522 DANG! Well that's good for him. We don't need those type of pastors. You just keep letting the Lord use you for his Glory, and he shall reward you in heaven!!! Be blessed brother.

[@primosolo7559]

I've always said this, some of the best most talented musicians ever come from churches that doesn't support or value them, so they turn to the world where they're being loved, embraced, & appreciate

[@lesliedavis6081]

Jean Germain just say they don’t make enough money! 😂👍🏽

[@azhaz578]

Don’t keep locked away in churches. World gotta see this.

[@lesliedavis6081]

michael hines different circles. Most of the really good ones I know don’t get paid much at all. People think just because they’re so good that it doesn’t take time, indiv rehearsal, group rehearsal, equipment, and a ton of study. How much does the tech and equipment cost? Some do the same work and get paid a lot more, yet we do the same and get a lot less. That’s not greed at all. It is equity. 49 years in the church and nearly 35 as a church musician tells me that in addition to it being the Word of God that tells us to pay what we owe.

[@azhaz578]

@@lesliedavis6081 Exactly. What are they supposed to do? Sit around and wait for church handouts? Nah, there's always new musicians to grow in the church. The world deserves to see them.
