This is a fantastic video, keep it up and continue to post many more.....I usually look at them but never comment, but I had to comment on this one...it reminds me of how I play during the Divine Hour at my church...
Obviously I didn't describe it very well, but I was trying to imply Quincy's performance sounded like a tasteful elaboration from what was written, and it was vastly more pleasing than simply hearing the exact notes found in most hymnals (hoping my thoughts are explained more clearly this time).
Yes, it's clear....haha :) but just want to make sure it was because others will probably go off on a tangent and probably make unnecessary comments :)

This is a really fine performance!!! I "had" to add it as a favorite.
Were you improvising the piece while looking at the hymnal? There's way too many notes to fit on those small pages.

@tomclemans well, he needs to follow the melody and keep the harmony in tact, improvisation doesn't mean playing from the mind or "ear" only...

Yes, thanks for pointing this out.
