RIP, Sublime musician, and super guy.

[@cpg8000]

Been listening to him the past few days. What a swell guy and his playing is out of this world. Miss you, Joey. Rest easy pal.

[@marianojosecongetbetore9091]

Besides Joey's magnificent drive I love this trio. It exudes empathy, comfort. You know, I played, with Joey at the piano when he was 15 to 16 jamming at the Village Gate's terrace NYC. Whe you think of a point when you might be able to play anything at anytime l think of Joey because he's, still, the one who gets closer to that point. He has become a model of inspiration for anyone and everyone and so he will be remembered

[@richardwalker9826]

can't get enough of joey and his fellow artists- words can't describe how transcendent they are!

[@MrGuto]

Wow! That's amazing. I heard Joey and Troy playing at the Monterey Jazz Festival a couple years ago. Absolutely great!

[@GestattenWinnetou]

Joey clearly digs Jeff. Duh. Everybody digs Jeff.

[@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup]

My wife just gave me the biggest compliment. She thought that was me playing tenor! (She wasn't watching the video). I wish I could perform with Joey DeFrancesco!

[@webstercat]

This performance also has a view from another angle. Thanks 4 posting.

[@csabakereszturi945]

Looks like he had relatively short fingers. Which didn’t stop him setting the bar pretty high in the B3 territory.

[@avalanche9026]

Scary ow much talent these people got. Incredible

[@franconicola218]

R.i.p Joey...miss you too much Man.

[@BaileyFamFC]

RIP, legend

[@colossodirodi4340]

Joey is a great talent and a nice guy also

[@richardcasey7521]

I still can’t get over the loss of Joey.

[@mrdali67]

No matter how you weigh’em Joey is the greatest living organ player ... pun intended

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

I’d go with Corey Henry but I’m ok with anyone who would say Joey✌🏾

[@alphabeets]

Monster players. Great jam.

[@bluarcher5941]

this is, without a doubt, the greatest Hammond B-3 player that's ever played it...I know there's been some great ones, but Joey rules, hands down.

[@jasongarey8329]

To have Joey and Jeff playing together is a powerful combination. The tenor player is good, but needs more seasoning.

[@Hazzarius]

drummer just with him all the way playing so responsively. for eg. 5:28 comin in on beat 2 together. that shit get me turnt up

[@gcpezzi]

Right? The sync between drums and B3 really hit the spot on this video.

[@1000000trs]

you've got good judgment friends - that's Jeff Hamilton - you''ll be hard pushed to find better - a master jazz drummer of classic pedigree who has played with everyone - Ella, OP, you name it he's played with them - and yep - he reads their minds and they love it.

[@GestattenWinnetou]

Jeff Halmilton -- Legend! And I don‘t mean the organ…

[@kjc9trader491]

wow - first Peter Erskine, and now brush master Jeff Hamilton... only wish we could've seen him more... Awesome!!

[@highlow8875]

Great musicians - great melody, I would like to know the name of this great piece. Many Thanks.

[@evandalling9941]

It's called Ring-a-Ding-Ding! Originally recorded and released by Frank Sinatra in 1961, but also recorded by John Pizzarelli and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra in 2006.

[@3rdStoneObliterum]

monster! rip

[@SeanFenlon]

Joey is amazing as usual in this extemporaneous performance. That said, something is off with the audio from Viscount organs vs. Hammond B2 organs IMHO (irrespective of Leslie speakers).

[@anbangsax3694]

Troy Roberts on Tenor saxophone

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Cheers!

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

@@timothyjensen179 Thank you!

[@michaelthompson6452]

A real jazz cat !!!!!!!

[@luisjoseromerocastellanos890]

very nice musicians, jeff hamilton ufff diana krall drummer!

[@BJ-fj6jw]

Who else besides me caught themselves smiling while watching this video?

[@shecky308]

Why don't you ask me what song to play...!!!!!

[@chazinko]

6:23 Beast mode!

[@danieltrafecante3813]

That was a good jam boys!

[@bluarcher5941]

geez...the camera hangs on Joey and I never know if he's just kickin' pedals or if there's actually a bass player with them...maybe it's just the lower register on the B? either way, it's super stuff.

[@GuitarJay]

There was no bass player; it's all Joey.

[@thomasreuter1968]

Incredible to hear (and see) the walking bass line while he's soloing 9:33-9:44 😳😃

[@Peter-ic7vj]

Say hello to little richie varola for me joey.!!!!

[@mitchfuku]

What's the name of this tune? The melody is so familiar but cannot for the life of me recall the name....

[@jrgreiner]

Ring-A-Ding Ding. Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen tune recorded by Sinatra.

[@mitchfuku]

THATS RIGHT, THANKS MAN!

[@jrgreiner]

@@mitchfuku No prob! ;-)

[@Vebjorni]

Sounds like Take the A-train, but yeah Ring-A-Ding Ding.

[@davekana8388]

@@jrgreiner thanks!

[@bobblues1158]

Great guys! What mouthpiece and reed is Troy playing?

[@aldofagiolo8911]

Vandoren V16 T7

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Correct - Vandoren V16 T7 with V16 3.5 reeds. :)

[@benipuka]

rip

[@paulbelfrage876]

What's the tune?

[@MyTEEsharp1]

Ughhhhh that drummer! Plays chops like nothing! 🔥🔥🔥

[@mellilore]

Mr Jeff Hamilton there

[@jeanmedar]

Song?

[@GestattenWinnetou]

Yes, it‘s a song.

[@robertgerard7055]

Sounds like an adaptation of Take the A train, with the +5 chord in third bar.

[@theskywhale4683]

It's "Ring a Ding Ding"

[@vfvfrus6459]

Joey DeFrancesco meets Francesco 1:30 :-)

[@shecky308]

You need Eddie baccus Jr on horn.!!!!!!

[@mikehawk9461]

God that snare sounds terrible

[@eastonunderwood5180]

Yeah, birds way better than these guys.
