This groove reminds me of the syncopated "partido alto" or "telocoteco" rhythms in Brazilian music (namely samba and bossa nova), except piano driven. I love it!

It was hip that you played phrases that match Kirk Franklin's ad lib vocals. In the parts where it didn't match, it was in the same rhythmic ballpark. Coming from a Pentecostal background, this is a beautiful take on the music from someone outside the culture but connecting to it through Jazz. Much respect!!

Wow. Fantastic breakdown. That's enough material for many hours of in depth study. Beyond the chords and rhythm, I was struck by the feeling that this was a fusion of gospel and funk. Certainly the right hand alone has a very gospel sound and feel, but the left hand and the bassline bring the funk, and they play off each other brilliantly. The way they land together on those "home" notes is so sweet. The bridge sounds very characteristic of classic Stevie Wonder harmony to me, in my limited understanding, but I know that's a whole world right there, and he was just one of the bright lights in that zone. Thanks!

Thank you! Hyped to have found your channel… it’s been a while but I studied music theory (just a highschool diploma). Never grew appreciation towards classical music but always felt blessed to have a deeper grasp on the fundamentals of music theory (both as a listener and a recreational musician). Since my wife got pregnant I wondered how to get myself back in shape in time to be present and involved when my daughter picks up her first music lessons (spark up her interest whenever she gets stuck) - you’re going to be a lifesaver! 🙌 🤍

Nahh, you have to do the WHOLE tiny desk Peter Martin. Kirk Franklin has a resume like Stevie wonder l. I would love for you to break down some of his best work in like a 20-30 min episode if you could ? Please I would love it I grew up listening to this it means a lot to me it’s apart of my DNA. Nobody takes the time to analyze or appreciate great Gospel in the church world on this level. I would really appreciate it. Melodies from Heaven, Silver and God, Brighter Day, Hosanna, Don’t Cry, “Why”with Stevie Wonder!, Lean on Me, Forever/ Beautiful Grace man there’s some great ones
