All great musicians. Hadley Hockensmith, guitarist for Neil Diamond (for over 20 years). He was also a session guitarist for: Ray Charles, Michael McDonald, America, Jeff Beck, Glen Campbell, David Gates & Bread, the Righteous Brothers, Billy Preston, Johnny Rivers, Michael Omartian, Gordon Lightfoot, Maria Muldaur, Richie Furay, Conway Twitty, Larry Carlton, Andrae Crouch, Keith Green, Phil Keaggy, Koinonia and many others.
Abraham Laboriel is one of the best bass-player, ever ! yes ! Bassist forever ! Actually he has recorded with the best musicians of jazz Like Dave Grusin, Harvey Mason and many others. He´s excellent.
Jazz Cristiano con el Grupo Koinonia con Abraham Laboriel -- Alex Acuña -- Justo Almario que tiempos tan inolvidables aquellos que nunca se pueden olvidar.
This is the great one. I miss you Alex and Abraham during the Don Moen and Ron Kenoly time when you both guys do your best jobs and wow I am refresh when I see you in you tube. To God be all the Glory
Damn I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast and was especially blown away by the guitarist Hadley Hockensmith. I have always been a fusion nerd, especially guitarists, and followed the various session greats, but was unaware of Hadley at the time. Another session super group to check out which features some of the same members was Friendship led by Lee Ritenour.
Really good Funk/Jazz always gives me this great feeling that i can't quite explain. Especially when they do a powerful solo. I can feel that emotion they're putting into it and i love it. All great music can have this effect but jazz and funk do it the most for me for some reason
I listened to Koinonia a lot back in the mid-80s as a new Christian. Takes me back.
A documentary gotta be done on these guys! They played on almost everyone’s album in the 70, 80, 90s.
Anyone questioning why Abe is the most Recorded bassist in history?!!?... from jazz & funk to country & gospel and Everything in between!

I guess for a lot of us our jaws dropped when we found this :D

"To God be The Glory'.......He visited us during this concert and all the other ones too'.
I have listened to their music constantly since 1984 and still not tired of their music so many years later. Inteligent genius music
The good music must be harmony-rhythm and goodness. Not the trash of the heavy rock. God bless all the musicians of Koinonia. !
I've heard this bass tone from Abe, but didn't realize it was an 8-string bass. Wow, what a master!
Saw and heard them in Bergen Norway in 1983. I was in heaven for weeks 🎼🎶🎸🎹🎷🥁

Best live band ever. Listening since 1985 - music from the Gods. Hadley Hockensmith awesome guitarist
After all these years, I still enjoy this music so much..
What a wonderful surprise for a hard core Koinonia fan to discover a "new" song after 30 years!
