#GATJ3 Track by Track -- “Running Away” feat. @KevinWhalum



“ Running Away” – My Baby brother Kevin came up with this one. Besides being a great testimony, it was a whole lot of fun. I asked him for the story behind what was one of the most theatrical—and physically demanding—moments of the night. If you’ve ever wondered if you can communicate without words or if musical instruments can talk—Uh huh, they can.: Here’s what Kevin had to say:

"Frankie Beverly is an amazing influence on me musically. I listen to Maze records nearly every week. As a result of that, I put an ear to their hit song, “Running Away” to see where I could take it lyrically given the purpose of The Gospel According To Jazz, Chapter III. Let me say it was an honor for me to record a song written by a personal hero, so I hope Frankie likes what we did. The live audience seemed to appreciate where I took it, and that’s always a good thing." - Kevin
