Band “Azamar” of Agape Family Worship Center Keys- Loren Dawson Organ- Richard Tubbs Smith Drums- Brian Williams Percussion- Rodney Plummer Bass- Lashawn Thomas Guitar- Willie Brown Sax- Stantawn Kendrick Sax- Eric Hall Trumpet- Adam Burton Worship leader- Sandra Huff
As a bassist I'm really digging the discipline of this band especially the drummer, nothing overdone and the bass players tone is spot on. I'm here relaxing and bopping my head.
I disagree... the piano is a foundational instrument but it shouldn’t be overpowering the rest of the band .. I can’t remember any live shows with professional sound engineers that mix this way.. and if you said was the true. Y are the horns louder than the organ.. it’s mostly preference of the Musical Director
Musicians are playing these traditional songs effortlessly. Love those chord progressions guys. I get Joy listening and shouting to this music! Hallelujah!
I’m talking about sat in my car and waited until this was over. This band is incredible and that organ “rumble” bout took me out!!!! This is it!! I love how they are in sync and nobody is calling out changes (a signal here and there) they just vibing and having a good time.
You did it. You got me up on my feet. I found out that I can still pick 'em up and set 'em back down like I used to do when I was a young Holy Ghost filled 'postolic.
I am a Hispanic Christian musician from Puerto Rico and in the 70s and 80s we played in that style, but like you no one can. You have the gift of God and only you sound that good! It fills me with joy to hear you. Go ahead, never stop worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ with that grace! Amen!
I’m glad the Saints have such good music to praise God in the Holy Dance. Even when I was a little girl in the Country, they just had a guitar and tambourines, and lawd didn’t it sound good! Now, over 40 years later, they’ve added a few instruments, but the music still has that Anointing on it that makes you wanna dance for Jesus! I was so pleased to see a church in Asia having church and they were praising God in the dance! 😀
That’s my boy Tubbs on the organ he’s a quiet storm trust me he’s one of the legends and well known in the music industry that’s humble!!! Great guy.....
It was the chords the piano player so effortlessly laid down that got me. My gawd!!! Did anyone else hear them? I was like, where did that chord come from...and that one...and that one, too!!! I wish I could hear that and then play what I hear in my head, like he does. He was seeing and hearing the notes BEFORE he played them outwardly. That's a message right there in itself!!!
The keys only looks down at his keyboard like 3 times in the entire performance. How do you reach the point where you know consistently where all they keys are at every single moment?
Wow! That was so refreshing to hear! Everyone in the band is locked-in to their role and playing it to perfection. Loren and Tubbs are monsters! And the horns are hitting right on time!
Same for me; I replay this part at least 10 times! As a musician, it is awesome to see that the guys you are playing with are on the same track as you; the organist did the riff 4 seconds before, then the piano player followed, then the guitar and the bass. in sync! And they are having fun with this. This is great!
Who ever did their mix is so on point. This is the best audio I heard on youtube in a while. The live feed sound mix is balanced and clear. From others either the singer is extremely loud over the music, or the drums are cutting everyone else out. Even the horn section is clear and not overbearing. Good job who ever's responsible.
Alejandro Walters Thank you sir! Mix could have used a tad more B3 and GTR and Percc. But you are right, we strive to bring the same or better sonic quality to the masses on the same level as a major secular artist tour or tv special.
I don’t think the organ is too quiet but the keys are way too loud. Clearly the keys player has done the mix, you can see him do it. Not enough of horns or organ in key moments. You don’t want anything to overpower but this sounds like the keys player is no1 and everyone else is underneath.
As an MD it’s nice when you have musicians around you that can easily follow anything you think of on the spot without having to call out every single move.
oh you're here Boss? Big fan of yours Warren. You're truly amazing. Kindly check out my music video 'The Wait' on my page and let me know what you think
What a breathtaking example of humanity at our highest - creative, cooperative and coordinated, generous in exchanges with others, exquisitely skilled, humorous, having an utter blast. Outrageously talented individuals working together to produce something far bigger than the sum of the parts. It just doesn't get better than this!
I have a dream of taking a plane here in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and disembarking in any state in the South of the United States and listening to these Gospel/Jazz songs on the street. I want to hear this kind of music in Alabamba, Tennessee, Mississippi, Colorado. I would love to have been born in the USA. I'm Brazilian, but I really like black music from the USA. In 2005/2006, an American Gospel Music group played at my church, here in Brazil. First time I saw this style "live". Before, it was only on video cassette or television. I was very moved. Music style that I like to hear and play the most, right there in front of me. I'm a bass player too.
Yes, I live in Memphis, TN and been a church musician for years. We have some awesome musicians and psalmists here, so does Nashville, ATL, GA, abs AL. Don’t forget Chicago, IL. Know that no matter where you are, it’s good to know God’s still in control and in the midst. Now that we have the internet, you’re still able to listen to worship. Thank the Lord for technology.🎹🙌🏾🎶🎼
First time hearing this in Nov 2022, but I have to play it over and over, because I’m too blessed to listen only once!! My favorite part starts @ 5:15 minutes, but all of it is great! 😀
Loren Dawson on keys. Thats a whole gospel piano clinic right there. Would be great if we could get a congregational song tutorial from him on what he played here. That`s some serious stuff right there.
@@MrKindofimportant123 Hey thanks a lot man. I really appreciate. Im so surprised somebody on here remembers me. I`ll try to put more content up soon:) God bless What was your periscope name back then? trying to remember
Great Team Ministry, No body is outplaying the other. And, even though my favorite is the organ, I do don't it is not loud enough, actually it is just the right level. This takes discipline and commitment to the ministry. After all is said and done it is all for the Audience of One, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to God be the Glory.
Josh Stevens it has but over the past years the organ has been toned down way too much in gospel music. I remember the organ used to shine in its own way but now it’s barely heard in the background of gospel music. Organ is the soul of gospel music and this is coming from a keyboard player
chris hill music evolves my friend. In my opinion the musicality has enhanced due to the change/switch from piano to organ. But I must say I do miss the sound and the feeling the organ gives.I respect its place in our foundation.
Love, love, love those chord progressions on this traditional Bless that wonderful name- Jesus medley. Musicians are so skillful. . Praise team are exceptional and anointed, as wel.l
This brand of "locked in" doesn't happen by accident. Every part of this band contributed just enough. Somebody EQ'd the devil out of that Montage - nice and even across all 88.
We need more of this unlock the vault Unc! Hands down one of my favorite bands in the state of New Jersey. Shout out to Loren Dawson and his team at Agape!!!
@@williamfeliciano3859 😂 😂 😂 I love it! Yeah Chi-town gets down too. I considered y'all to be a part of the EC too but I guess yall are really midwest...lol
@@raxchuck6019 Man I love the west coast sound as well...but I still stand by my initial comment! lol 🤫🤷🏽♂️ Honestly, I love it all. I'm a North Carolina musician so, Yes, I'm biased! 😃
The bass player is quietly lighting the world on FIRE.
BLAZIN'!!!
I’m just sitting here saying that “exact same thing.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep, I'm checking out on SB5000.....
yes he was..
Lol mannn whatttt😂
I like the humble smile on the organists’ face
That’s who Richard Tubbs is. He used be out with MaryMary!! That unit is tight!!
Exactly! Incredible fusion between the musicians.
That's my boy tubs very humble man
He has a humble spirit! We need more of that in church today!
The keyboard chords are insanely beautiful

On n'entend pas la section de cuivres !!!!!!
Thank you Lashawn Thomas! That bass was bumping 🔥🔥 6:48 taught me something. I have to learn my theory!!
As a bassist I'm really digging the discipline of this band especially the drummer, nothing overdone and the bass players tone is spot on. I'm here relaxing and bopping my head.
I agree man. Especially when you have so many other band members, you cant just wild out
LeShawn Thomas on bass! He’s a problem! Plays for Angie Stone and Pattie Labell.
Exactly
Facts
Not one of them is overpowering!
I don’t know how you could go to that service and not have a smile on your face!
Shout out to the drummer and the bass for the solid foundation laid on this!👌💯🔥
Drum machine and live drums
Monster musicians all! What a singer!!!!!
We need more organ!
Can’t have more of anything. Everyone is supporting the keyboard on the right. If levels were even you would hear the mistakes and following errors.

Yeah the organ should be turned up a little bit
Where is this church?? What state?
That sound my grandma growing up at Greater Saint John C O G I C
Bless That Wonderful Name of Jesus.
Lord, tell me it's gon be this fun in Heaven. 😍😍😍😍😍
Wow that was pure! Clean!
Now this is what we call a band!!!
Big ups to these guys, they work well together!!!
Your music take me back l church 1950-1980 grandma time
That keyboardist has the most beautiful fingering - the utility of classical with the expressiveness of gospel. Wonderful

Tubbs be chillin but is a whole beast on organ. He is humble and laid back regularly.
Does he play keys for Mary Mary?
Still my favourite clip on TH-cam. 🧡👍

A tutorial should follow in your channel
These gentlemen are smokin’ players together. I wish that I knew their names and where they are from.
I "feel" that B3. Piano is a beast! And the bass player is ridiculous. Great blend all around, so smooth!
Master corey taylor👑👑👑
💯💥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh goodness!!!!! Too much sauce!!! The pianist the realest deal!!!
That was awesome
I loved the horn section
Fantastic! Favorite part is at 8:17 when everyone is truly in sync with each other. Gotta love the Black Church!
Same for me; I replay this part at least 10 times!

I'd like to hear a bit more of the organ and the guitar.
Alejandro Walters Thank you sir! Mix could have used a tad more B3 and GTR and Percc. But you are right, we strive to bring the same or better sonic quality to the masses on the same level as a major secular artist tour or tv special.
Just needed a little more organ.

When the worship leader says clap your hands and stomp your feet, and the musicians warming up, I know I'm in for a ride!
i was shouting out in my garage
Praise God and His glorious music!
The entire band is tippin it up⬆️. Their all including the Organ, is perfect! Can you see all heaven dancing this!
The keyboard player is crazy and the bass player is bout as crazy too.
MY church, AGAPE in Rahway NJ! The BEST band everrrrrrrrr 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Dr. Lawrence Powell, Sr Pastor, this church is the real deal 💯💯
I haven't seen so much patient in traditional worship for band Lord have mercy look how comfortable the brass section is cold
They're all good but those horns really sweeten the sound. Nice
Man horns are on point
That's actually brass and woodwind section. Saxophone is woodwind or reed instrument. From a sax player I had to make that correction lol
So nice
It seemed that they could have been a tad busier though
Man oh man that bass on that piano man 😍😍😍😍
The Drummer and Bass Guitarist are truly the foundation💯💯🥁🎸
Yes...need more Hammond B3
Pass me them STARBURST on the organ tho😂. Band sounds great 👍
As an MD it’s nice when you have musicians around you that can easily follow anything you think of on the spot without having to call out every single move.
So macht Gottesdienst mal Spassss.
Thats the way going to church is a sensation and to reach people to go to. Very very nice. God bless you all

Humanity?.... ummmmmm smh.
First off the mix is so beautiful vocals are blended very well with the band to the band y’all are really locked no one is overpowering nobody
Loving this.. The smooth transition from one song to the next is a MUST during praise & worship..
Brought me to tears.
My God!! These guys can play. You can tell they love playing together and read each other well.
I love this band. They are all together 8:27 is when they start kicking it. Praise God!

The organ and keys compliment each other perfectly.
Humble Tubs!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥whole band is def lock in

Just that simple.... No one is trying to out play each other, One Band ... One Beautiful Sound...... Love it....

Loving it all, but gotta give it up for the horns!!! Anointed ensemble, all the way around!
I prefer the Organ as the lead instrument.. it’s still dope 💯
Really? I always thought it was a piano player I just transitioned over from the drums to piano.
Piano has been the lead instrument in church for at least a decade
Josh Stevens it has but over the past years the organ has been toned down way too much in gospel music. I remember the organ used to shine in its own way but now it’s barely heard in the background of gospel music. Organ is the soul of gospel music and this is coming from a keyboard player

There is no EQ on that montage for the stage or go pro mix. Just gain and slight (very very Light) compression.
