Joey, you were my music hero since I was a little child. I remember seeing you for the first time in TV with Elvin Jones and Birelli Lagrene - this concert I recorded on VHS. I cannot count how many times I've seen that concert. Seeing you live in Prague was one of the best musical experience I've ever had - and I still have your signed photo framed. You will be truly missed. You have a very special place in my music heart - I love you, Joey. It is hard to say goodbye - so rather see you later.
Joey has the B3 DOWN! I heard Jimmy Smith live multiple times. If you close your eyes when Joey plays, you’d swear Jimmy was back in town. Any musician with this level of skill and soul deserves recognition. He’s keeping a vanishing genre of jazz alive. Nice guitar and in the pocket drumming, too!
So sorry to hear of Joey's passing -- A swingin' fantastic musician with a great repertoire..man those fingers could fly! We saw him live, several times and I shook his hand. RIP
Joey, what a fantastic talent with complete control of the mighty Hammond...gone much too soon. Thankful we still can listen to his fantastic recordings.
@@guillermogonzalez6346 Seguro Guillermo, Jimmy Smith, como gran organista, seguramente fue una inspiración para Joey pero en esta oportunidad estamos hablando precisamente de Joey DeFrancesco, en mi opinión el más grande de todos los organistas de Jazz.. Joey Forever, RIP..!!
Though not extensive, I have a fair jazz collection . . . . and this guy, this guy here, is part of it. I hate nay sayers and negative nelsons. Half of the people that are down playing this guy's ability . . . . . . probably couldn't hold a note to him. Just enjoy the music . . . . . or leave!!!!!
Byron Landham always provides for some sooperb drumming. He's one of my favorites if not the favorite of all drummers. He's so relaxed when playing and pulling off the stuff he does.
OMG! Joey is my hero. I played B3 for years on the road. NEVER in my wildest dreams could I make it sing the way he does. The trio... all of them are fantastic. 💯
Actually Pros in general get these sounds if "Money is Right." I remember "Jimmy Smith sitting in on my Organ at 14" saying I had him down to which I said getting paid to which he said "You got it down."
Awesome performance. What does a player have to do to shut the haters up? For Gods sake, you meanies are welcome to come and show me how it should be done anytime. This is top flight jazz. Go get screwed, haters.
I can listen to this all day. This is pure talent. You just don't hear too many jazz organists anymore. Not saying they aren't out there. Right now he 's the best one recording. Keep playing Mr D
Guitar deserves a big round of applause for the solo section, how long did he get to prepare for the gig to pull off this very tricky number. The guitar sound is a perfect compliment to the B3. These thumbs down people people are zombies that wont be back. Drums man doing exactly what's right on this song and Joe is as near to a god on organ as you will ever find
I’m curious whether this “new” B3 has actual tone wheel generators. I’m guessing not - they’d cost a fortune to manufacture. Then again, the starting price for a genuine, 50-year-old B3 is $10,000 and the sky is the limit.
Computer. You are correct on the production costs. Not only the tone wheel but each key was hand wired. Hammond was caught in a quandry; production costs were too high for profitability and computers hadn't the capacity to replace the tone wheels. Ergo, no more Hammond. Granted, Yamaha was doing some great things with FM synthesis which led to their pretty fantastic digital pianos but their efforts on the B-3 were pretty much limited to "click or no click". Sad to see Hammond go but darned glad I'll never have to move a B-3 again!
Many folks make all kinds of negative comments about Joey. Some question his technique and creativity, some comments are purely racial ... white men can't jump after all. But all one needs to do is "listen". Forget about the other "crap". Joey can PLAY!
I'm agreeing with you and adding that nobody - black, white, green, or blue - who knows music says that. People who can play or listen to music with an enlightened ear don't listen for race. Miles never did. As for the rest - I feel sorry for them but don't really think much about them.
BC I wholeheartedly agree with you. however, your example of Miles Davis is LOLOL. That guy hated white people. a simple look on the internet will bring that to light. That guy grew up during segregation.
Joey is one of a very small breed of newer-generation players who have kept the Hammond B3 alive. If it wasn't for him and the likes of Barbara Dennerlein and James Taylor, the B3 would be struggling and yes, these guys are all white and from different countries. It's not about your colour or where you're from - just about how you play and whether it sounds lovely. Joey has soul and is totally at one with his instrument.
And Joey's handling the bass chores with his left hand quite well, thank you very much! Not often you see a jazz trio replace the bass player with a guitar player!
A master is a master. I praise God every time I hear one as they are the greatest gifts musicians can receive.. Thank you Joey for all the hard work you put in. This trio just kick booty. Gonna go have my chiropractor work on my neck in the morning.
When Joey turned on his full organ sound and rotating speaker and really started jamming, I just lost it. My body started moving and grooving with a will of its own, right in the chair I was sitting in
Joey is truly amazing. He can burn, but he plays all the good licks and phrases you want to hear, the stuff that touches your soul and satisfies you, the stuff that make us love B3. He also continues to carry on the message of the greats we know and love.
Great player man! I believe he's in the forefront in jazz with this complex instrument, play's and voices extremely creatively, gets so much sound out of the instrument! And I believe he's an extension of Jimmy Smith, Don Paterson, Larry Young, and the great Dr. Lonnie Smith!
All three seem to have the power to groove and swing as one mind. Joey is a master of the Leslie Speaker control giving that Hammond a great pressurized sound that is mighty expressive. Unbeatable stuff loved it.
My favorite trio! To me, these cats are right up there with the original Oscar Peterson trio in terms of their cohesiveness and flow. Brilliant idead to put that song in the key of Bb too. Blusier!
Need to mention those drums…..great feel….giving that band a real lift upon which to express their ideas…..can’t stop playing it and joining them on tenor…
So smooth, like nothing to it, just play and enjoy it, we’ve done so many times before, second nature, another day at the office, well in this case another night in the club, the brother is in complete control of that organ, he making that thang say what he wants it to say and it’s not arguing back, the guitarist and drummer are killing it too. Sometimes for me when jazz artists cover a pop or r&b song it doesn’t sound right done in jazz, but in this case it is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!! 5👍👍👍👍👍UP!!!!!
I heard this playing and I didn't know who it was. I haven't heard this kind of soulfulness since the 80s back in Connecticut when organ players were burning it up so, I had to run over to my cell phone to check and see who was performing on TH-cam, but I'm not surprised to know it's none other than , Joey defrancesco keeping the roaring sound of Hammond B3 organ alive..
Thank you Joey, your ideas are so clear, and backed by just killer technique and the deepest of deep grooves. Thanks for leading the way for us on this instrument!

Elvin and Lagrene; that must have been amazing. Is that available on CD?

Very sorry for this lost
Still needing to process this loss. Worried about you for a while Joey, God wanted you home.
Joey D, what a marvelous talent, lost him aug. 25th 2022 at 51 years old. Way too young!
Goodbye, Joey. You are missed. Thanks for blessing us with your wonderful musicianship and your beautiful spirit.
Did He Eat his way to demise ?

Joey grooves, on and on and on.................He's the best Hammond man now and Jimmy's watching down from heaven with a big smile.

Sad we had to say goodbye to you Joey. Thank you for everything you've shared with us.
Joey is the Oscar Peterson of the Hammond Organ. The Guitar player is amazing..
Oscar was wonderful!
No nos olvidemos de Jimmy Smith
@@guillermogonzalez6346 Seguro Guillermo, Jimmy Smith, como gran organista, seguramente fue una inspiración para Joey pero en esta oportunidad estamos hablando precisamente de Joey DeFrancesco, en mi opinión el más grande de todos los organistas de Jazz.. Joey Forever, RIP..!!
Exactly..The Oscar Peterson of the mighty Hanmond.
Looks like Paul Bollenback. His knowledge is encyclopedic.
Fabulous Hammond B-3 ! Joey got everything out this song and B3 !!! And the use of the Leslie !!!
The guy's awesome, period. If you like jazz, you like this guy!
Though not extensive, I have a fair jazz collection . . . . and this guy, this guy here, is part of it. I hate nay sayers and negative nelsons. Half of the people that are down playing this guy's ability . . . . . . probably couldn't hold a note to him. Just enjoy the music . . . . . or leave!!!!!
I know eh! I had no idea he even existed. He's now part of my collection too!
Even if you just like organ, you like this guy!!
Don't know about anyone else, Joey sure does make my day....that DeFrancesco sound...AMAZING!!!
I just discovered joey in 2019 but I don't think I will ever know any one else who does wonders on the organ like he does! Joey! You are great Baba!
Always love listening to Joey!... He's the Bomb!!!
Rest in peace, Joey. You were an amazing talent, sir.
Music the way it's supposed to be. Musical conversation, musicians in their roles painting with instruments. Go Joey Go!
Byron Landham always provides for some sooperb drumming. He's one of my favorites if not the favorite of all drummers. He's so relaxed when playing and pulling off the stuff he does.
Thanks for identifying the drummer. He sure is terrific.

Awesome performance. What does a player have to do to shut the haters up? For Gods sake, you meanies are welcome to come and show me how it should be done anytime. This is top flight jazz. Go get screwed, haters.

Not sure. Wasn't a strong mike on the audience. May have been more than you think. Yes he deserved applause for sure.
Pretty sure he got applause.
Yes, he's outstanding !
Completamente de acuerdo Robert, un solo de guitarra ¡ increíble ¡
@@5018jamesb You dead right matey
This is my teacher, mentor, and friend, Paul Bollenback, on guitar.
Lucky you. He's doing a great job here.
Fantastic group!! Guitar player is awesome!! Him and Joey together unbelievable!!
Lucky you, indeed.
...wow, clearly defines the line between inspired soloing and rote wanking,
ALL of the side men should be listed; Joey D isn't the only musician on stage.
Joey D. You were always "The Man". Your music will live on until they turn the lights off on this planet.
7 Haters in the world. Screw the dislikes this is music to my ears
No other organist can swing on the B3 like Joey D!! Beautiful stuff.
Such a pleasure to listen to, all 3 musicians compliment each other to create a masterpiece, right in the pocket love your work .... Kiwi boy
fuck yeah kiwi
Paul Bollenback's solo is the perfect blend of melodicism and be-bop modal playing that interweaves very nicely.
I will never say goodbye, Mr. DeFrancesco. I have loved you and your playing since the first time I heard you. God bless you, sir. Rest in paradise.
As always Joe and the others - absolutely wonderful !!!!!
Imagine being either of these musical giants waking up each morning knowing you are capable of this magic !
I just want to say this: FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Just groovin' great music (jazz, funk, rock - a little bit of everything). And the new B3 indeed sounds like any vintage one - exquisite !
I’m curious whether this “new” B3 has actual tone wheel generators. I’m guessing not - they’d cost a fortune to manufacture. Then again, the starting price for a genuine, 50-year-old B3 is $10,000 and the sky is the limit.

Sad to see Hammond go but darned glad I'll never have to move a B-3 again!
I love this song and find great this version of Defrancesco
Wow, what a HOT swinging arrangement. Joey tears up that Hammond B-3. I'll be listening to this a lot.
Joey is the God of the Hammond B-3
Joey is on fire! And so is the band.
Thumbs down on TH-cam make no sense. This is music, talent and effort. Please stop.
What a gifted gentleman. Thank you for sharing with us. Looking to see you live in 2021!
Many folks make all kinds of negative comments about Joey. Some question his technique and creativity, some comments are purely racial ... white men can't jump after all. But all one needs to do is "listen". Forget about the other "crap". Joey can PLAY!
That is BS. Joe ys really good and should be recognised as such.
I'm agreeing with you and adding that nobody - black, white, green, or blue - who knows music says that. People who can play or listen to music with an enlightened ear don't listen for race. Miles never did. As for the rest - I feel sorry for them but don't really think much about them.
"As for the rest - I feel sorry for them but don't really think much about them" ... Best comment yet!!!!.BC Drummer

This thing always make me feel better.
No breathing, only Music!!!!!!!!! Joey DeFrancesco forever
And Joey's handling the bass chores with his left hand quite well, thank you very much! Not often you see a jazz trio replace the bass player with a guitar player!
It’s actually the most common lineup you see with organ trios
A master is a master. I praise God every time I hear one as they are the greatest gifts musicians can receive.. Thank you Joey for all the hard work you put in. This trio just kick booty. Gonna go have my chiropractor work on my neck in the morning.

I hope a University has awarded him an honorary Doctorate in music theory. He has clearly mastered it.
Doctorate in Pure Musical Talent would be more than appropriate.
Why would that even matter?
I've listened so often to this concert and this specific song but it never gets boring! Go Joey Go!
This clip made my day! Amazing trio of the best of the best!
Just an amazing flood of creativity. One of the greats.
Joey's simply awesome... Jimmy'd be smiling down on him I reckon, seeing his great legacy being continued
i actually met jimmy smith in person & he would concure in australia in 1990
Smooth playing!
He takes a well-written song and takes it to another level, a hundred thumbs up
Awesome, Joey! I love your music!
Loved Joey for years! Just perfect! I'm so jealous that I can't play keyboards at all! So great!
Joey is truly amazing.
He can burn, but he plays all the good licks and phrases you want to hear, the stuff that touches your soul and satisfies you, the stuff that make us love B3. He also continues to carry on the message of the greats we know and love.

I believe he's in the forefront in jazz with this complex instrument, play's and voices extremely creatively, gets so much sound out of the instrument! And I believe he's an extension of Jimmy Smith, Don Paterson, Larry Young, and the great Dr. Lonnie Smith!
Well said
Right on!
And Richard Groove Holmes and Jimmy Mcgriff.
Gary S Absolutely! Groove Holmes, Mcgriff, Big John Patton.. all in the same conversation..
All three seem to have the power to groove and swing as one mind. Joey is a master of the Leslie Speaker control giving that Hammond a great pressurized sound that is mighty expressive. Unbeatable stuff loved it.
This recording, evoques all the good and wonderful things America represents. I always play it when I travel abroad. Makes me feel right at home.
America is a continent muy friend
Para mim Joey DeFrancesco é sempre absolutamente genial e este concerto é fantástico!
Super Strong!! Great talent on the part of each one of these guys!!
unbelievable... just so good!
My favorite trio! To me, these cats are right up there with the original Oscar Peterson trio in terms of their cohesiveness and flow. Brilliant idead to put that song in the key of Bb too. Blusier!
Blusier!! Nailed it William!
We're never going to say goodbye to you, Joey! Always in our heart, RIP JDF!
Thank you Joey and band for create and craft wonderful timeless pieces of musical art.
and terrific guitar too. Love it all.
OMG Love this tune and this band is incredible !!! Awesome job !!!
I saw Joey live in Los Angeles with Jimmy Smith. Pure magic. Joey is the real deal.
Amazeing man and love how he talks about without feeling and emotion you have nothing....
🌌
Need to mention those drums…..great feel….giving that band a real lift upon which to express their ideas…..can’t stop playing it and joining them on tenor…
i enjoyed listening to these three musicians very much.
Sit down and close your eyes and enjoy. They will take you to another world.

This is a fantastic band here. For those of you who don't hear it: If I had to explain it, you wouldn't understand.
Just stellar! And grooving AF! Great arrangement of this tune.. one of my all time from way back!
Goodbye, Joey. We met briefly at JJF and just today sadly heard of your passing. You will be missed in the jazz scene.
Sounds good & Awesome player....
This is one of my favorite tunes.... What a stelar rendition!
What a virtuoso. What an artist. What a musician.
I'm enjoing myself listening at this great music!
Amazing. I'm a drummer and this would be my dream lineup.
Still can't say goodbye to you, Joey.
So wonderful and relaxed. I love it.
Waow! So stunning 🤩
Putting and keeping a "GRIN ON THE GROOVE!!"😎
Thanks and Blessings!!!
Somebody get a fire extinguisher!
The guitar player is stellar... Love his chord voicings and solo... WOW!
Who is the guitarist ?

So tasty. For example that riff at 9:05
