    The end screen in this video has a typo in the dates. It should read 1978, not 1987.
    I wish I could fix it, but that’s not how RUclips works. 😢

    Shaun and I went to the same elementary school, Mark Twain in Dallas. He was three years behind me. Back then, the school offered piano lessons for whoever wanted to take them. When I heard that Shaun passed, I immediately remembered him as a little boy wearing his glasses with a little grin walking down the hallway headed to piano lessons. This hurts. Rest in heaven, Shaun. And, beautiful tribute.

    Thank you for this heartfelt tribute. I am lucky to have met and chatted to Shaun at the first GroundUp Music Festival in Miami in 2017. I was sitting on a step enjoying the vibe and Shaun sat on the step. I said hi and asked where I was from and when I told him I was from England and had come to Miami just for the festival he couldn’t believe it. We talked about how music is the universal language. I had a few ‘meaning of life’ conversations with some of my other musical heroes during the festival, but Shaun was so easy to talk to. As you say, he came across as a very genuine, humble human being.

    I also saw Shaun twice with Snarky Puppy, including the released Albert Hall concert. The crescendo to his solo on Sleeper had me on my feet, roaring for joy, tears rolling. I didn’t even remember getting to my feet. It was the most intense musical moment of my life, and I still tear up when I listen back to it, it was once-in-a-lifetime special. So sad to hear he’s passed, the world is a poorer place without him.

    But mr Martin was absolutely , positively , 100 % , the main engine behind that awesome sound of Kirk Franklin on that night ...
    He sounded AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!
    Sad to hear he passed on so soon ...( just like ' big Mike ' who also passed on not long after that recording ) ...

I know John’s music with his band La Lucha so I was excited to see him with another pianist. They played grand piano’s on stage together and solo. I haven’t forgotten that concert. I loved the blend they both brought to their playing. Sean played Jazz , R&B and Gospel while John played Jazz with a Classical influence. It was a wonderful evening of great piano music.
