Matt Ramsey SLAYING it, incredible tone
Kirk is an underrated keyboardist! He is a superb player and I wish he will sit at the keyboard more when ministering. Great breakdown!
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!!

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!

This is almost identical to the groove from Jacob Collier's All I Need, or am I missing something?

Peter, great explanation, as usual. Fantastic song choice as well. Love the updated video production values. Nice job by all involved.
Beautiful breakdown and presentation, brother Peter! Bravo! Your excitement is contagious!
That song always stuck with me, it's probably that Michael McDonald-ish piano line

@@tonyjackson7599 I wouldn't agree with that. Seems more like Michael McDonald was influenced by this style of music. I think Kirk Franklin is pulling from the vast roots of Gospel piano here - as was Michael.
I agree! This concert floored me and left me in tears of joy!!
man peter, i remember when you used to make very simple "2 minute jazz" videos. You're content and teaching scope and the look and feel of the media has expanded crazy. Thanks for what yall do. It keeps me in the music headspace everyday.
Listening to this again, and I can hardly wait to take it to the piano (I’m on vacay). I love how everything percolates under the melody in such a groovy way. Such a great tune!
The joy you bring is an important ingredient for one way to make a beautiful day. Thanks, Peter!
This is one of those times I feel happy and privileged to have known about Peter Martin over the years. Seeing him breakdown gospel songs now is just to say the least 'awesome'. I remain inspired by you daily. I hope to see you do more gospel song breakdowns, especially with that Jazz feel that is inherent in your playing. Thank you Peter.🙏
Dude!! That was fire!! Im very familiar with the song being a predominantly gospel musician but seeing your take on it was immense! Seemed like you were really having fun in there... more gospel grooves my man!!
this channel is just insane - was randomly listening to Kirk Franklin this summer and came across this song. it slaps so hard
Such a dope video! The smooth ass way Peter Martin is shot walking to the piano and vibing in perfect time 🔥
This breakdown is amazing!! One of my favorite tiny desks and your break down has already made me understand theory so much more. Thank you
Amazing! Great Content in here! God bless you Open Studio! You guys are killing it!
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!
Sick production on this video, love the intro Peter and team ❤
Killer breakdown, man. Some serious groove and breakdown skills yourself, sir. Cheers and thanks for all of your videos. Benjamin
This one of the best breakdown/instructional videos I've seen! Well done!
Very underrated thanks for covering this!
you guys are awesome! love kirk's tiny desk concert and it's wonderful to see it featured on open studio ❤peace
Great breakdown Peter! Those chords!
This man is a genius!... I just love the way he breaks down the whole song whilst adding a whole lot of flavour to it and making us not loose any bit of interest along the way.
Great choice! One of the best Tiny Desks of recent years, no doubt about it!!
Seriously thank you for this! I love this track and a little help in getting it in my hands (even a little bit) is really appreciated!
this is Epic - I sent this tiny desk concert to several musician friends. My favorite comment back was from a pro drummer who said this groove is rearranging my DNA!
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! 🙌 🤍
Man this is Awesome I would have never guessed y’all would be doing one of my favorite artists of all time Kirk!
Love your passion about music and all its aspects. I feel the same only that I can't make such energizing videos, hats off Peter! Thanks!
Great breakdown man...very exiting indeed! You are intricate!
Great stuff. Thank you. Great set up. You know what you‘re doing. Keep it up and have fun with it!! Peace and piano
this was beautifully presented with a lot of heart.
I missed this on Tuesday, so thanks as always for posting. Wonderful production values, by the way.

This rings as a really cool 70’s sound. ❤️
As if you read my mind what content should come next! Incredible!
goddamnit Peter, i love you. I've been saying this is the hardest thing i've heard this decade for years.
DUDE, the freestyling at the end was NASTY smooth! My goodness!
PETER! Pls do a full lesson on this one in JPM ... and please unpack some of the bass playing and work us deeply through developing the bass line. Thanks!
Awesome sir!! I had a feeling when you played the song during Shelter in place you was going to do something a take on it. Peter Martin you the best...
This was beautiful
Dude, I just ran across your page... I love it.

Great master class about Kirk gospel Franklin
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
The best advert for tiny desk, I've seen. Lol. I'm heading over there now
Thank you peter!
This sounds a like Come With Me by Tania Maria (1983) both the Brazilian rhythm and chords. Great song by Kirk ..
