Description
Beginning in 1989 with the release of his Columbia debut album All Of Me, Joey DeFrancesco reignited the cool blue and red–hot flames of organ jazz. With his vintage Hammond B3 and Leslie tone cabinet combined with a deep groove and superb technical command, Joey became his generation’s foremost proponent of an instrument that had been pushed aside in favor of evolving keyboard technology. With over 30 recordings as a leader, the three–time GRAMMY Award nominee holds a well–deserved place in the illustrious lineage of jazz organ that includes Fats Waller, Wild Bill Davis, Jimmy Smith, and Larry Young. “Mr. DeFrancesco is a deeply authoritative musician, a master of rhythmic pocket, and of the custom of stomping bass lines beneath chords and riffs.” (The New York Times)“He has dominated the instrument and the field as no one of his generation has.” (The Chicago Tribune)
