Agreed. As an aficionado of the B3, and having played one for a living for about eight years, I have yet to find a performance that even comes close to this display of virtuosity by Joey Francesco. Better than anyone ever could, he captured this extraordinary instrument in its many moods, from its distinctive solo voice to the open chords and full vibrato of a theater organ, played with blinding speed. Now he’s accompanying John Prine as they sip cocktails and smoke cigars in Heaven’s numerous and busy night clubs. (The teetotalers are all in the other place.)
Stunned, shocked and saddened to hear of Joey's passing. Truly a giant in the music world. He surely will be missed. What a great talent cut short. He sho' nuff' had mastery of the organ. We even had a little church on this song. He is now playing for the heavenly choir. Well done Joey! Hasten to your reward!
Yeah, extraordinary ending with a mix of gospel and a sudden but short rendition of Jimmy McGriff’s ‘I’ve Got a Woman.’ What an incredible talent he was.
After watching this video, I just swayed my head in silence for about 2minutes trying to figure out what to say. When God decides to give someone a gift like this, it’s amazing. Joey you are missed down here!
WOW! That gospel outro was the most! Thank you, Joey DeFrancesco for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.
Wow!! Just can’t believe he’s gone!! @ least my wife and I had the pleasure of seeing him @ South Jazz Restaurant last year. OMG! He was incredible! He had that organ talkin’ screamin’ cussin’ everything! Plus played trumpet AND sax on top of it! And his band was amazing as well! 51 is too young OMG! Gone way too soon. May he R.I.P.😔🎹🙏🏾🕊🎶
RIP Joey D. I am so glad to hang out and spent some time with you and The Late JIMMY SMITH. Joey was super cool and funny guy. But every one knows He’s playing from Trumpet, Hammond B3, Sax, Bass Upright and Drums just to name few… we’ll Miss you Joey D.
I've been listening to this every day for a week. This is really other worldly......all these players. Joey is really from another planet. Just amazing.
I have watched this video and enjoyed the music probably 50 times. I love the joy all three are playing with and the audience is giving it right back. Jason Brown has become one of my favorite drummers of today. It makes me sad to know Joey is gone but I'm thankful for all the music he gave us!
The track Kindred Spirits from Relentless (with Danny Gatton) was like a tribute to my father's death in 2017...Joey meant a lot to me and for him to leave us after his health turned around (he lost a lot of weight) just feels like a kick in the throat. I'm so sorry for his wife and kids. What a loss for everyone who loves this music.
I recently discovered the existence of this great man and his enormous music and soon after that, I got to know he'd died. It was a very socking and sad new for me. RIP. , my friend, wherever you are. I still keep listening to you.
Total, complete absolute mastery of the instrument. Just takes it way beyond everyone else. Not just technique, but such pretty, tasty, organic, soulful ideas. One of the best performances I've ever heard.
Whenever i have a bad few days i come back to this. Cook some good food and vibe with the people that matter in my life. Always brings me back down to earth. This man was legwnd in his time and will forever live on. Thank you joey!!!!
Рік тому+3
RIP dear Master, thanks for the glory of your music!
I met Joey In Oakland California at Yoshi's once. Just the sweetest, most beautiful guy you could ever imagine. Absolutely open and innocent. I was blown away by Joey's wonderful vibe. Besides his ridiculously awesome organ playing, he's an awesome human being!!!! He's on my list of "See him live EVERY time he comes to town!!!"
If he ever comes back around the Yoshi's I will not miss the chance to hear him and let him know how much I've enjoyed his music for over 30 years already!
my father is also a jazz musician and there was nothing he was stoked about (other than marrying my mother and my birth, lol) than meeting/ talking with him.
The Martino album "Live at Yoshi's" is a complete masterpiece. I've transcribed small bits of some of the organ solos, and learned a lot from it, like I should just give up, LOL.
What, a Great Music Talent .Here playing ,Creating Bass lines on the bottom w/ fantastic Keywork . Sax, Trumpet ,extraordinaire...Gone , never Forgotten..Taken Us ,all to Church , what an outro . May God Bless.
Un día una amiga me invitó a un festival de jazz. Dos horas después estábamos viendo a Joey. No podría creer lo que escuchaba. Parecía que salía fuego por los amplificadores, electricidad pura, fue increíble. Quedó para siempre en el corazón. Grande Joey de Francesco, nunca te olvidaremos.
Watching this again as it’s one of my favorite renditions of this tune. Was supposed to finally see him for the first time yesterday at the Lewiston Jazz Fest and didn’t even know he passed until the day of. So sad i’ll never witness his greatness in person as I can imagine his presence is godlike. RIP to one of the grand masters of Hammond B3. I’d like to note that Emmet Cohen played a tribute set in his place and really blew me away!
I must've watched this 100 times, and I still sit on the edge of the settee nodding like the Churchill dug! Fills me with awe. Love you guys... absolute world class masters of music. 👍
J'ai appris avec stupéfaction et une immense douleur la disparition de cet immense musicien ...Il savait jouer de tous les instruments ....mais à l'orgue il était impérial....heureusement qu'il aura laissé nombre d'enregistrements…RIP Joe and see you later.....if God want !
I just cannot stop watching joey. On this song, I also don't know what to say, out of this world? Magical? Crazy?...Ouuuuuuuutstandingly amazingly....like I said, I don't know what to say. It's not hats off but hats thrown away!
Wasn’t that a stunning trio????? Even the legendary Jimmy Smith would have approved.simply loved everything,but seriously embraced the guitarist,what was there not to embrace,simply lovely. Ian Morrison
@@Prince_Dracula if you watch the Tutorial on how to play, some of the bass will be played on your left hand.. but key-wise, I don't really think it sounds like it opens up in Eb
@@Prince_Dracula - actually, I think Cory Henry is a better pedal player on the organ. And it looks like Joey is doing most of the bass lines with his left hand.
WHAT A GREAT GUY/MUSICIAN ORGANIST-COOL GUY...FABULOUS! RIP SIR YOU ARE SADLY MISSED BUT I'M LISTENING TO ALL OF YOUR ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFETIME!-JIMMY SMITH & ALL THE OTHER B-3 ORGANISTS ARE VERY PROUD OF THE LEGACY YOU HAVE LEFT US! J. RAZZJAZZMAN...LOVE...THIS ARRANGEMENT...
I still recall the occasion when I had the privilege of guessing the standard during on of your live quiz on Instagram. Your works brightened the formative years of my existence. I extend my deepest gratitude. May you rest in peace.
Joey's run from 8:50 to 10:30 is just mind-boggling. I'm almost speechless. It's everything I could ever ask for in a Hammond solo: space, surprise, gospel, texture, joy, tension, climactic liftoff, heart, love, fun, everything.
@@rblossey The Hammond organ has no RAM or any other electronic components. It uses electrically powered tone wheels to generate a pure sine wave, which is then replicated through the octaves and the harmonic drawbars. A tube-based amplifier sends the sound to the organ’s internal speakers. Or in the case of the B3, which has no internal speakers, the signal is sent to an external Leslie speaker, whose moving components enable natural acoustic vibrato and chorale to overlay the Hammond’s sound. Both Hammond and Leslie companies are long gone. Though it is theoretically possible to build a new tone wheel organ from scratch, the cost would be prohibitive. Another reason not to do it: the Hammond/Leslie jazz sound was very much of its time: starting in the early 60s.
@2:12 he glances at the guitar player and he starts comping all four beats. Those guys are so tight. So much joy, you can see it throughout the video. They're having a blast playing together! Wonderful tune.
I see no mention of the fantastic bass player. LOL. Dear Lord, you blessed Joey and us with his talent and skills on that organ. For a few seconds there I thought they were going to need to call a Hammond repair man, because Joey was tearing that beautiful instrument apart. Rest in peace, my Brother.
RIP to one of the greatest on the organ, we'll miss you.
Yeah this stings.😔🙏🏾🕊🎹🎶
RIP, devastated
A true master
Rest In Peace ⋯my champ
A sad day, indeed.... such a great player. RIP
Thanks for all the joy you gave to the world Joey. Our hearts are broken but your music is eternal.
I return to this over and over. Utterly marvelous.

Had the privilege to see Joey live, one of the best concerts I've seen my entire life. RIP one of the all time greats.
Lucky!!!
Can't believe I just found this - mind blown! RIP Joey. 51 was way too young .
This video makes me smile every time I hear Joey, a poet of the Hammond.
Dang, I totally miss Joey. Thank you Joey you, brought so much love to this world through your music & as a person.
That was one of the most coherent guitar solos I've ever heard

Could be talking about all 3 muscians!
You don't get out much, do you.lol
He allows the organ to have its say.

Went in the local cinema to watch "My Left Foot." Was incredibly disappointed to find it wasn't two hours of Joey D's basslines.
People miss you a lot Joey!
NoBody plays organ like you!
NoBody!!! 🍇🍷🍾🥂🎉😇🇲🇽😎
Immense.....thank you Joey for the countless hours of pure delight you gave me with your music R.I.P.
The guitar player played a stellar solo that matches Joey.... love them both!
CORRECT.
Dan Wilson bro. A beast
First time I’ve heard Dan Wilson, wow! Joey is great too of course.
Fan Wilson One of THE best in THE world

A virtuoso, a genius, sorely missed, RIP Joey
What a trio. Been listening to Joey for about 6-8 years now. Incredible!
Drummer is solid. Guitar is great. This band is happening.
He put his Stamp on 100 ways tribute to James Ingram both of you Thanks for the music R. I.P

These three are pulling the best from each other. One of the best performances I've ever heard. Thanks for the lift guys. 👍 😊 🙏
True, however, I would say the drummer is a little weaker than the other two, but is solid.
I am heartbroken at his passing, but 09:10 is how I want to remember him... total joy of music.
His heavenly concert is officially sold out. RIP and thank you for blessing us with your soul.
RIP Joey! Your music is gonna be in my heart forever! Thank You!
He took em to church in that old preaching key.. I love it.
you might say he knows how to bring the party home w/ the right people
saw him live in Detroit for jazz fest in 2016 or so and he was playing Trumpet! he still played this song on the B3. RIP. wish I could see him again
The Greatest ever on the B3. Was going to see him On August 27th, 2022 @ the Lewiston Jass Fest for the first time. RIP

Joey DeFrancesco is probably the best jazz organist, he's so smooth and flawless. He has so many highlights when he plays. 5:54
don't forget Jim Alfredson when he jams w/ Jimmy Smith on "the Sermon"
@@Belchmaster41 Sorry, not even close. Not even in the same galaxy!
Lord have mercy!!! And a hundred "Amens".

This is the light of jazz, joy, évidence, hapyness ...
The most complex and complete jazz organist by far than anyone ever. He is the man.👍🎹
