How do you know ???????

How I imagine heaven: Joey DeFrancesco, Jimmy Smith and Booker T. Jones playing the Hammond Organ

[@Quirin_Niedermeier]

RIP Joey. Now he's playing in heaven with all the greats!

[@ricaard]

What a loss, RIP Joey!! Fly to the moon and beyond!

[@jazzfan6]

Besides having total mastery of his instrument and a deep grasp of music theory, Joey DeFrancesco had an innate ability to 'swing his ass off'. That's why all his performances are filled with such joy. I can't believe he's gone. RIP maestro perfetto.

[@keithharry7152]

Absolutely magical when he played. How many times did I listen and find myself playing “air B3” … every time I listened! RIP Big Man.

[@sommelierramon]

He was soooo good ! The best ? not far from it at least.

[@codyives5409]

RIP, Maestro! A master on his Hammond B3.

[@clarenceconwell6183]

saw Joey live with the Great Jimmy Smith. A small club in L.A. Joey was groovin' away as I watched and drummed on my seat, unseen Jimmy entered the room and stood behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders! I slowly stood and hugged him. Add that to meeting James Brown, seeing and meeting Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald as they sang and played in my neighbor's living room, I had a few great experiences as a kid.

[@yarygork2334]

Wow what a storyl And for me? I had tickets for the Jimmy Joey show at Oakland Yoshis but Jimmy passed a week or so before the gig. I HAVE RAIN CHECK TICKETS IN HEAVEN TO SEE THEM PLAY SOME DAY.........

[@ernestmartinez5776]

You'll see them don't worry or rush it

[@4wheelwarrior]

I'm actually a really good Hammond player ... but it blows my mind every time how guys/gals can play pedals AND all that other sh*t at the same time!!! I confess, at present, I can't do it. Joey is (was) definitely one of the best. Shame he passed, yes, but look at the incredible catalog he left behind. What more could an artist or his fans desire. R.I.P. Joey DeFrancesco. One of my inspirations to be sure.

[@garys8990]

Joey just the greatest living organist for this type of music. There were many others that are now gone, but thankfully Booker T. Jones is still with us. Long live the mighty Hammond Organ!!! Thanks for posting.

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

Listen to Barbara Dennerlein… absolutely phenomenal and beautiful too.

[@maristoldboys5466]

Love the Hammond organ too in Gimme some Lovin'

[@devenking]

Playing a steady bass line while improvising. 🤯 So glad my dad took me to see Joey play in the late nineties when I was just a teen. RIP, Joey. What a talent.

[@jamestdawson]

Joey was an incurable talent and a perfect gentleman as is Frank Vignola. I had occasion to meet both and both were most gracious and supportive. The world could use more of their kind. Joey will be missed.

[@BigAlf16]

Out of all of the videos on KZbin this is the one I have seen the most. I have viewed this hundreds maybe 1000 times. Joey is one of my favorite musicians of all time. May he rest in peace

[@johnfritzel9833]

I absolutely agree!❤

[@PieInTheSky9]

Rest in Peace Joey, say hi to Miles for me!

[@nickyfarrell3024]

The Big Guy took no prisoners. He slayed them all. R.I.P Sir Joey 🙏🏾

A legend has left us.

[@Wishtodie]

The organ is the most underused instrument in jazz/smooth jazz. Thank-God for people like Joey!

[@sommelierramon]

Grteat, yes, soooo hugely okay !

[@rickmilam413]

I have to disagree. I have more jazz organ trios than I can count. I always felt it was a well served genre. RIP Joey

@@TboneWertman Do you have a very weird sense of humor or a personality disorder? I've no idea why a rational person would react to my comment that way.

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

The best Jazz organ player has left the building - what shocking and sad news! To me, he was Jimmy Smith's successor and he did him proud for sure! He could not only easiliy compete with the very best organ players in the world on a technical level but he had an amazing feel for melody. Most importantly, he was entertaining and a joy to watch besides what he played. He is terribly missed, what a huge loss, especially for us Hammond organ enthusiasts! I'm gutted ...

[@seanonel]

Don't fret. We have as certain somebody named Cory Henry who is still with us...

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

@@seanonel Cory Henry is a great young musician I appreciate and enjoy a lot. However, you can't compare the two at all.

[@seanonel]

@@hammondvoodoo9555 No you can't, and Joey will always have his own unique place in history. Saying that, we keep our eyes and ears on the future as well as the past. Long live the Hammond!

[@nickyfarrell3024]

@Braaidude. Corey Henry is great. But….No. Not even close.

[@seanonel]

@@nickyfarrell3024 I wasn't comparing them. I was simply saying that greats come and go. Corey and Joey differ too much in style to compare in any case.

Ive been drinking a beer and smoking a joint listening this song every Friday for the lasts two months, every time the same feeling. Mellow moon jazz madness, great upload.

I agree, Joey is just so great to listen to no matter what he is playing. Along with his amazing virtuosity. He really perfected the B3 in my opinion.

[@patrickdichiro3654]

So sad for the loss of this incredible jazz master. He really brought the Hammond B3 back to the center of jazz. I love that instrument and long collected the albums of Jimmy Smith, Booker T. and the rock players who played the B3 so well (Greg Rolie of Santana as an example). RIP
