JOEY DEFRANCESCO: Wonderful! Wonderful! HighNote, 2012 ORGAN JAZZ – One of the brightest stars of the Hammond B-3 over the past few decades, “Joey D” keeps the flame burning with straight-up groovers like this disc, playing with a hard, chunky swing. He’s joined by two veterans this time: fusion guitarist Larry Coryell (here playing in a “cool” style) and bop drummer Jimmy Cobb. They have good rapport. Nothing spectacular here, but a solid effort. Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 1. 7:08 – soulful theme dives into a speedy bop romp 2. 6:02 – hardbop strut: sneaky guitar solo and slippery B3 3. 8:47 – cute “western” ditty gets playfully swinging treatment, long solo lines 4. 7:13 – dragging romantic ballad with finely detailed solos, esp. guitar 5. 8:50 – elaborate organ intro, then a cool breezy waltz; nice sound 6. 6:37 – a cool, quiet stroll with a little blues in it, has a real nice feel 7. 5:23 – Joey plays trumpet! A sweet ballad, nothing too fancy 8. 8:21 – yeah… straightahead groove lets guitar & organ dig in [ Fo ] - 3 September 2012 | ||
