The music minister in this video was showing me how to play down at the cross and i can follow the chord theory but i have trouble with the camera angle and catching the lick that he does @ 3:53
Rev Nichols teaches "down at the cross" on Piano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PQDc10M484#)
Any jazz pianist able to tell me what the theory is behind that kind lick so i can do it in any key?
I hear it a lot in gospel music, like here @ 1:10
Georgia Mass Choir - Walk In The Light (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIz-1QlN18#)
I just cant seem to get the hang of it.
Thank you so much and God Bless

yo MoC;
it looks like an Eb Bb D Dd A line-arp'd across the changes.you slide off the Dd -D -A pretty common in jazz.if he has an instruction DVD or other you-tube clips that might help.
also-look @ any clip from Sam of Sams' Muzak sound of joy;he does a lo of that stuff

I don't have any way to do a vid bro-I'll keep an eye out.If I remember correctly-there's a Jimmy Smith video that shows it.
Try just those 5 notes; Eb Bb( 4 th finger Eb to 2nd Bb) then 4 th to Db-quick slide down to D using just the 4 th-then the thumb on the last note.
The D is almost a grace note-bet the timing is messing you up

no way to do a video;try this 4th finger to 2 nd Eb to Bb
slide 4th finger to Dd,quick slide to D
then 2 or thumb to A-the D is a grace note-my bet the timing is why it doesn't sound right
