Joey DeFrancisco, Larry Coryell, & Jimmy Cobb Releases “Wonderful! Wonderful!” | Avail Now
On Highnote Records.
Joey
DeFrancesco has come a long way from All of Me, his recording debut as a
leader made in 1989 as a fresh-faced 17-year-old. From the get-go, the
Philadelphia native established his credentials with virtuoso technique
and an innate soulfulness that he brought to bear on the Hammond B-3
organ. Throughout his early career, Joey was widely recognized as
spearheading a renewed interested in the Hammond organ, and building a
bridge from the instrument’s golden period of the 1960s and early 70s to
the modern vocabulary and usage that it enjoys today. With jazz guitar
great Larry Coryell and legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb, Joey imbues the
venerable genre with new life, vigor and a modern sensibility which is
at once of the moment and. at the same time, respectful of its roots and
soulful history.
