interesting. I never thought of him as a gospel player ever. I always thought of him in the vein of a modern day Oscar Peterson type w/ lots of African American stylings mixed in.
Straight theory! This man understands every component to all 12 keys with their relative scales, modes,diminished, augmented, whole tone, and has broken down each scale within the major scale and all the scales components to freely move fluently throughout the keys and runs, and all variations of chord progressions, it’s all from his knowledge of the scales and the relative components to each key and work all his theory knowledge within a key! Amazing, and to be able to think through his level of theory, and how quickly he transitions and runs, I’ve never heard someone run through all 7 modes within each key and quickly. It’s prodigy like! Seriously
I had the pleasure of performing with him years ago, and when I tell you the rehearsals where far greater than the actual performance is an understatement!! He is genuine, gracious, encouraging, and brought out the very best in everyone. I pray that god absolutely blows your mind with his blessings on your journey Master Q!!
He's clearly studied the likes of Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Phineas Newborn Jr and others. It's always great to hear one's influences come alive in their playing while still sounding like himself! Many musician seldom get that far within themselves! Yet it's a level we all should be reaching for until we can play no more.
Big loss ,he was incredible and I never heard of him,great technique and harmony,,,he loved playing,you can hear that,,,, another of the great un sung heros,,,,,thanks for posting the playing of this great man ...
I thank God for this man’s gift and his faithfulness in cultivating and using it. What’s scary is the level of talent in that room also. So much ability and diverse gifts in music
This guy is following the footsteps of Bud Powell, art Tetum ... maybe he’ll be recognised more afterwards like his predecessors. Incredible virtuosity
This about the 100 and some’ time I’m watching this and I only came back here to say “QUENNEL IS THE BEST AND MOST SKILLED PIANIST” the gospel industry has ever and I mean ever had!
Between QUENNEL GASKIN and JASON TYSON, I get physically ill when I hear them play, because I know that not in this life, or 2,000 more life times, will I ever come close to playing like them. They were created by GOD to play piano and the rest of us are just spectating and picking at notes, at this point. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
RIP Sir. This I'm sure is playing heaven.
The things that go on in his head as he plays is unthinkable.
Talented and creative
I think it's time we set Quennel Gaskin apart from the typical gospel keyboardists. Let's acknowledge him for the classical gospel pianist that he is!
Amen brother. This guy is dynamite!
Bafana Tshabalala that’s right
Yeah Man!! You hear all that in his playing!!...
interesting. I never thought of him as a gospel player ever. I always thought of him in the vein of a modern day Oscar Peterson type w/ lots of African American stylings mixed in.
@@levarhiggs3174 Totally agree.
RIP Quennel Gaskin

I thank God for the refreshing sound of Quennell and his personality and character matches his playing pure and great.. Keep it up Q. Bless you Sir..

The warlord
This man is a classical pianist that discovered gospel music. Astonishing.
This guy is one of the best I've ever heard dang
this line at 1:10 is absolutely magnificent like holy cow straight outta barry harris's book.

The greatest piano player EVER
RIP one of my greatest influences 😢❤️
Pure mind beautiful spirit, honest heart and God given anointing and just love for music= Quennel Gaskin.
Chords so pretty...make you wanna cry!
Big loss ,he was incredible and I never heard of him,great technique and harmony,,,he loved playing,you can hear that,,,, another of the great un sung heros,,,,,thanks for posting the playing of this great man ...
I’m sure he’s heard that’s he’s reminiscent of Art Tatum in some ways.
Rip Q I miss you Bro
A great player and the joy of playing a great instrument.
This is the greatest. Quenelle is the best alive, insane
Quennel Gaskin's style is a blend of gospel, jazz and classical.
dude on the piano in the back smiled at 2:58.. like yea... that was tight lol
"Anointed hands"..no doubt about it!.
Rest up legend🕊️🤦🏾♂️
that's Chad Lawson sitting behind you on that grand! Great recording artist, both jazz piano and modern. Love your playing, bro!!
This man is a gift to all of us. He’s incredible.
Brotha,
I could watch you play all day. Your expressions are PRICELESS!!
It's like watching a play unfold on stage.
I need to go and practice more.
The greatest hands down...
I thank God for this man’s gift and his faithfulness in cultivating and using it. What’s scary is the level of talent in that room also. So much ability and diverse gifts in music
Yikes! Those voicings. Love them. Just seems I’m hearing the further harmonic integration of jazz and gospel more and more. I’m on to this cat now!
Exactly what it is!
Quennel is that guy!! Stand up dude too 🔥
This guy is as fast as the wildest classical pianists.
I wanna smoke what you’re smoking
@@eugenelevin9809 Timber
Even me Lord; please some drops of QG's musical skills fall upon me!
Maybe put in the actual practice required
@@TheLazyClips
I'm afraid that's TOO LATE for me🙄..too old and not enough time in the day..
@@garywatsonjr.2060 ohh i'm sorry
@@TheLazyClips
Lol..yeah, and so am I..I wish that I had started learning how to play keys at the young age of 5 like Corey Henry did..

Rest in peace Maestro Quennel. 🙏🏼
"All the way through..." His face expressions yo 😃🔥🔥

Man give us that first 45 seconds on a video Mr. Gaskins sir if you will. Thank you as always for sharing.
Great piano Playing really enjoyed it
Beautiful playing Quennel! and a beautiful sounding piano...
Chord voicing 0:40 - 1:05 ....next level!
The guy in the back is pondering should I even try to play this thing with him playing lol!!!
💯😉FACTS!..then after pondering, he FINALLY removes from the piano as inconspicuously as possible 😂😂😂(lol)!..
@@garywatsonjr.2060 hahaha I saw that too
@@garywatsonjr.2060 he’s waiting to play, lol but he’s actually a pro
@@earlem9771
He might be waiting to play and he might be a pro..but I can definitely tell that he's having 2nd thoughts on 'tinkling-the-ivory'😉😂!..
This guy is following the footsteps of Bud Powell, art Tetum ... maybe he’ll be recognised more afterwards like his predecessors. Incredible virtuosity

That superb instrument really does him justice!
5:10 like adding spice to food
Que hermosa improvisación 🙂😍👍 felicitaciones 👍. Que viva el jazz...
Man can play that thang.....I can only imagine how good it sounded in person! That bass
Your man go people in the background sitting down just chillin, probably would have stayed there all day!

Amazing how his gift Captivates and Arrests admirers and music connoisseurs !!!
Yes, music speaks direct to the heart.
RIP friend.
that is one nice piano!and quennel..mann I outta slap you dude !talented man
Can you imagine a pianist like him and an organist like Cory Henry, together? It would be spectacular!!!
Amazing. I've heard a few Q bits. He's a sort of centre of the cory/bill/herbie triangle.
I love 0:40-0:49 I imagine listening to that on a day forecast day windows open just relaxing. Is that a song?
Wow Mr Gaskin, this is awesome..Nice clean smooth and tight. Im learning to play,looks like i need to be taking lesson from you...
Spectacular ❤️🧡💛 Any influence from Oscar Peterson ?
R.I.P

Those chords and runs at tge end were to die for ...does he have any sheet music to any of his pieces
0:42 Is that a piece ??? or is he playing with those chords just like that ??? ( Awesome and incredible pianist tho :)
uratenie @ I said the same thing when first heard him play this piece. Straight shedding through there!!
still really need this to be answered
Sound like Robert Glasper in the beginning...
I thought the same exact thing!
Extraordinary.
What tune is he playing at 1:30? Anybody know ??
Are there more videos of Quennel demoing out the Pianos?
The professor
What’s the name of the song he’s playing in the beginning by the crusaders?
Instant inspiration 🙏🏼
I still got my stank face on! 😣
Right on right on brother
Killed it....Sheeesh! Did any one hear the little how great is our God snippet he threw in there? He really snapped!
From 3:00 on. Yes!
Onri Jay from .01 on...
Dear Phil Curry: Why are seeing the piano keyboard at 5:26 minutes, *when the song is over* and the artist is ready to stop and arise?
Because its a RAVENSCROFT!!
