The FUNKIEST Easter I've EVER had! - "Jesus is Real" (John P. Kee Cover) - (From the MD's Chair)

[@chrisw.5625]

He piloted that plane 💯

[@feronmeadekunle4602]

First thing I noticed is the smile on his face playing. That's genuine joy, let alone of the skill and precision of the band. This was a joy to watch

John P kee posted this video. You know this guy is legit!

The queen in white just brought all men of culture to Jeezus.

@soulmedia, I noticed her cute little figure too, for a different reason of course, because I'm all woman.😂 But I don't mind giving people a compliment.

[@gavinyoung1216]

Bro stopped paying attention to the song and focused on her🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ms88Keyz]

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!

[@edwardmalcomb2360]

That is very cool the way you does the number system

[@porte568]

Bruh yall drooling all over this dude and he skipped every difficult progression in the song

Musicianship 101: know your capabilities and limitations. Arrange parts accordingly.

John P. Kee is my Pastor. We have a ball with him and the musicians! I shared this with him 😍 Great job 👏

Jerohn Garnett is an insane musician!! And guess what, he's a even more killing on drums. He tours on drums with Chaka Khan :)

This is why you will always be one of my most favorite keyboard players!! You might be Italian but you have more soul than the average brother!! You know me Nikko, #1 fan forever!!!!

Hey Gary!! Good to hear from you as always!!!! I really appreciate your support through the years. YOU THE MAN!

You right.....he does compared to the average brother!!

[@ceelothatmane9421]

Man. If our choir director even considered enough to tell us the NAME of the song let alone the chords as they pass 😂 this guy is a beast. Playing under you, you’d constantly be learning to hear the chord changes and how the modes shift

[@bookerfleming3898]

There's a BW organist, in Atlanta who does exactly that. 😐

[@LB7070]

The musicians did a wonderful job filling the song out to its full potential and I thank you for not out playing over the singers everything gelled together nicely.

[@Tomasthanes]

I love the directions you're giving the band ("4 3 2", "break", "line", etc.). I wished I could've played in a worship band like this when I was still playing bass guitar.

[@ojohnson975]

Dude hit that LINE bar!!!!

[@dvoncruse6262]

As a fellow jazz cat that plays and MDs in church. You’re super dope. Lots of maturity and discipline in your choices and voicings. Big fan.

That was awesome! Great job on the keys; love how the band is locked in, shows a lot of work behind the scenes (rehearsals). My respect.

[@markhammowers9489]

I'm an aspiring bassist the first thing I listen to is the bass and this bassist was on fire🔥🔥🔥.Much praise for the lead musician wow what a masterclass, you guys are awesome. Keep praising the Lord and having fun 🙏

The number system is a rule of thumb for us bassist. We play the root notes then we can play chops like a drummer a and jump back 😂to the root

Oh my gosh the level of musicianship just casually like that?! I’m floored. And the pocket queen on the drums???

[@pedropmsantos]

OMG how someone wouldn't get involved with this music, simply can't stay still listening to it, made me miss even more playing drums in the church, god bless you all....

[@PACORAMIREZ1]

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]

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!!

[@matthewetienne7430]

Almost broke my neck when this man got funky usually the bass and drums have to be locked in but you locked in the bass wit the keys?!? phenomenal

[@jonbranch50]

Love this!!!

This is the spirit of why KZbin was created in the beginning: sharing a special moment with others. The excitement, engagement, fellowship is so inspiring. Great job!

[@csharp57]

Your playing is great and all. Hope these likes, comments and post from the legend John P Kee fill whatever ego tank you possess…. But more importantly, who is goddess in the white dress?

I've listened to John P Kee band and they're funky❤ but this right here is something I haven't heard and I am LOVING IT... whoooshhh❤ 🔥

And that, boys and girls, is how it is done!

[@doce7606]

If I'm not mistaken, this fantastic diatonic ditty (which I'm now learnin' !) borrows its C-section from 'There will never be another you' : Bbm7, Eb7, AbM7, Db9#11, Cm etc.... and the dominant section in the funk groove (Eb7, Ab7sus, Ab7) is heavier than Albert King at the Filmore wow ! And I absolutely love the heavy 1 and 3 neo-soul feel (two chords to the bar) that's so hip !! Absolutely fantastic post, Ciao bello !

[@leahgodson2319]

Wow! First time seeing how the leader coordinates the others musicians; amazing! And yes, Jesus is real!
