What does 'presence' have to do with anything? lol.
Man, this ain't a popularity contest!!!!
Have you seen Q's DVD?
!!!
I didn't say anything about chords and runs...EVERYBODY who's well-known in the Gospel arena has those.
His ear, his taste, and his musicality is from another world.
But if we WERE talking about chords and runs, Quennel would still be the best out there. Fastest, most accurate runs out there today.
Derrick Jackson is an amazing musician. I'd put him in the top 3 Gospel Organists on the scene right now.
This response shows me exactly what im talking talking about
Presence has alot to do with being a musician and why some of your local "hottest cats" cant get a gig but let me break down for you
What is a person doing if their presence isnt felt? seemingly just taking up space
heres a list of musicians you should check out
Derrick jackson
Butch Woodie
Melvin Crispell
Terry Baker
Terrence Palmer
Jonathan Dubose
Asaph Ward
Alex Ward
the Neuble (not sure on spelling) brothers
Reggie Parker
Mike Taylor
Byron Williams
All these cats can sit down on their respective instrument and play the simplest songs in thee most simpliest way and still have a powerful and moving ministerial experience
Q. can play circles around half the cats listed on my list and i think he is one of the dopest cats i have ever heard and met but he has yet to make his presence felt, matter of fact heres a real question for you......
What have you learned from Q's DVD????? even on the dvd when asked to break something down everytime he struggled..........and I love this cat one of the few young guys who i dont question integrity about and he will get there but now he's not there and he'll tell you the same
most of these cats if we tell the truth can get cut up and out-chopped on their instrument by alot of other players but when you get to a certain musical maturity you'll understand what presence really is
ill end by saying a school ground/and 1 ball player would rather be in the nba making nba money but they arent so when you can figure out why then you wouldve aged in wisdom my friend
let me end by saying you made a statement in regards to a popularity contest, but the funny thing neither Q. or D.J. can be considered "popular", simply bcuz they are not. so come on i challenge you to consider what i have wrote and not respond in a manner to save face
