Albums that are largely instrumental are not always my cup of tea but this one by Christendom's best selling piano player is an exception to that rule. Mr Tankard is so musically talented it is hard to believe this former NBA professional basketball player has never had any formal training with a style which ranges from the relaxed swing of an Oscar Peterson to the Churchy dynamics of a Ramsey Lewis. "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is an infectious track recorded live at the Tankard place with the audience singing along, cheering and having fun. "No Ordinary Love" is a beautiful cut which includes vocals from Shelly with the singer and Ben putting a whole new spin on the song originally recorded by Sade with a mellow feel that is very pleasing to the ear. "How Great Is Our God" demonstrates Ben's ability to interpret any musical genre here bringing a whole new feel to the Chris Tomlin favourite with ease, playing all instruments featured in the track. Ben is considered to be the best selling gospel jazz artist in the world. On this album you can hear why.
