Recap:

"Instead of musicians trying to get chords in the spirit they're listening to jazz & the r&b stations.  They're taking the tunes from the world and bringing them in the church.  That's why you ain't seeing no demons being cast out."

He referred to 'tunes', but he also referred to chords specifically.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this.



Fortunately I keep this page as a favorite. (thanks again sjon)  :)


With which part do you disagree the 'tunes' part or the 'chords' part?

Just so I'm clear.

I don't believe any church musician should be playing giant steps or maiden voyage during a service.  Not because there is anything wrong with the music, but because during service everything should be Christ-centered.  So I agree with the tunes part.

But chords?  That is where I disagree.  Whether I get my chord "In the spirit" or from one of a million jazz recordings, a chord is a chord.

Yea, that's what I thought you were saying.  ;)

I don't have to ask him what he meant.  He SAID what he meant.  Clearly.

Should you pray for inspiration?  Yes. 
Should you stop seeking knowledge about your craft and await inspiration?  NO. 

This is the equivalent of praying for a house and not saving your money, or praying for a car without getting a license.

What Mr. Simmons did was criticize those who listen to jazz music.  Listen to the way he said it.

"Instead of getting chords in the spirit, they're listening to
jaaaazz."

As if something is wrong with that.  As if it's a sin.



I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard Supt. Simmons say that. Listen to around 3:47 in the clip.  That part really concerned me.  The way our MOM at my church plays, you can tell there's a lot of jazz influence...not to the point of distraction lol but very classy and he's very in tune with what's going on in the service.

Since he's a member of lgm, I kinda asked for his opinion on this.  Not that he'll post  :D but just to see what he thinks about it (he's also a pastor and anointed musician).

So, seeing as I'm not a musician, I'll exit stage right.......... ;)

BTW, Incog, your sigs and avatars are too hilarious!!  :D :-*

It is possible to play Giant Steps without having heard it before. I know people that have played secular songs, without knowing they were playing secular songs.
