Jesus Molina giving a big applause at the end. Respect.

[@gusseisern1151]

yes, YESUS !!! save us all

[@dazboot2966]

0:33 - quick adjustment for the drummer there - 'uh-uh, backbeat' - classic

[@encasserole1704]

Complete right and left hand separation. Yet totally together. Unbelievable talent.

[@GaryMCurran]

Joey plays so easily, you look at him and it just flows from him. What a fantastic organist.

[@SC-uq2jf]

I am in tears. I love Jimmy Smith, the King of the Hammond B . Organ. Joey Defrancesco was supposed to go on tour with Jimmy in 2005, unfortunately, after losing his wife months earlier, Jimmy passed away, Joey and Jimmy never made that tour. Joey is carrying the mantle for one of the most spiritual instruments on the planet. I hope to see him play live, as I was trying to procure tickets for the tour he and the Master Jimmy Smith were to undertake together. I just sent this to my nephew...

[@PastTime777]

Amazing. People like this are from another planet, or they're connected directly into the music mainframe.

[@errcoche]

PastTime777 Joey was born into it. He has musical superpowers no doubt.

[@errcoche]

If that doesn't sell your organization nothing will.

[@SacredComposer]

😂

[@t-man78]

Yes, definitely! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnyVlqGGba6Jnq8

[@DeeEfSea]

Bill Evans calls it the universal mind

[@brianburman6580]

I see Jesus Molina in the background checking out Joey D!!

[@michaeltsung9741]

: ) yeah I noticed that as well at times he almost had an expression of "yeah, well let's see what this guy's got" : )

[@lejeffbarker6346]

Two monsters !!

[@tawtam1]

Real musicians love music and being around listening to other musicians.

[@HardyP2006]

me as well... - but I was asking myself, how I should interpret his Pokerface: he seems to enjoy his chewing gum more than the music ;-)...

[@osuperduke1]

You mean three monsters... Joey D, Jesus Molina, and Kemuel Roig. 😉

[@modelcitizen1977]

He makes the left hand stuff look effortless. Amazing.

[@reidmphillips]

Man the way he says "Nah, back beat" to the drummer and then it changes everything is awesome.

[@chrisn.4136]

The Hammond is a lost art. Hope more people like Cory Henry start emerging.

[@donaldlomax9406]

This brother takes me to church!

[@donaldlomax9406]

I had the awesome pleasure of sharing dinner with him and his wife a few years ago in Akron Ohio

[@stuartdryer1352]

I want to go to your church!

[@joepepsico342]

I have followed his career since I was young, LOL And since he was young. Not enough positive words can express the amazing talent this guy has been gifted with.

[@johnniejames9799]

His LEFT HAND should be arrested, and studied by science!! SMH Just amazing! 🙄😳🤷🏾‍♂️🤯🔥🤩😍👀🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🚨🚨🚨🚨🤦🏾‍♂️😎😎😎😎 #MakeThatBOTHHands

[@kennyproulx4690]

He's better than most bass players I know left-handed

[@Glee73]

his left hand has its own brain

[@heemanwebber]

#FACTZ

[@arielbcohen2345]

nice one..very funny...and true....

[@ahojahojish]

Joey is groove god :D And its his left hand that is the big reason for that

[@martinrockport2485]

I love watching this guy. Such as fantastic command of the instrument. Fantastic gospel-inspired ending too.

[@Kutulu369]

Man... if you ever need a smile, this is the vid that makes that happen. What a pleasure and a joy to listen to. Well played sir... well played.

[@digitalghosts4599]

I think Viscount Legend is the best Hammond B3 clone ever made and more. A really impressive work of their engineers and really impressive playing!

[@MrKeys57]

I just got mine, very satisfied, sounds good, the leslieswitch a bit corroded though, nothing else, a good clone

[@stringbender57]

Joey is totally awesome! He plays like he has three brains! Drummer did a great job too! I love it.

[@kaposlogisztika]

Seriously, I almost screamed for myself, so much I like that you can do with this instrument!

[@weberlds]

Credo esse cara é fenomenal, nem vou me arriscar postar em inglês. Maravilhoso e assustador tamanha habilidade e coordenação motora manifestada em musica boa.

[@murateyi]

Joey DeFrancesco is the Chopin of Hammond Organ.

[@Photoshock]

4:47 Drummmer caught with his pants down :(( The one and only Joey helps like a real gent he is!!!

[@keykopiano532]

Those bass lines are perfectly groovy, funny, much more high above sadness and and anger, and let us come in this joyful singing welcoming world of Music with all these subtle and smart chords that play with us and surprise us because they do not arrive exactly when and where they were expected... Nice funny version, cover of my favorite song ever ONE HUNDRED WAYS

[@e-care-books9867]

Does it seem like half the time Joey's in on some joke while he's jamming?

[@davidjamespiano]

Kllin' .... @4:52 drummer does a weird fill .... Joey gives him a look like ... dues just keep time this is my show bro lol ... anyone know if that's his normal drummer or a fill in?

[@BigMoeFo]

He's the man another bad ass Philly boy!!! We got the Eagles and Joey D.!!!!

[@Belchmaster41]

well, he's got my respect if we do the Military salute when we cross paths... 😃

[@landreveur1032]

Joey has ten fingers ? Like me ? ... Just impossible !

[@mynameisbrigham]

Did anyone notice that the Drummer was playing with a pen at 4:15?

[@B3burner]

Yup! Pretty cool.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Joey just gets better year after year. I remember reading about him way back in the day in Keyboard Magazine when he was an up and coming skinny kid, we had no internet back then so it wasn't until years latter I actually heard him .. and he was killer .. even back then.

[@mrdali67]

Joey was ever skinny ? I have to see that :) But true he is one of the greatest ot there today

[@sdkdrummer]

I have his first album. Looks like Ralph Macchio on the cover. :-D

[@frankservant5754]

Credit to the drummer too, very articulate plaaying

[@MrKeys57]

Just my thought, very skilfull and talented

[@lwendt1]

What a master musician Joey is. Just amazing. So soulful.

[@zackvanhalen]

For some reason, his left handed parts aren't coming through. It's super quiet, for me anyway.

[@PassdeDutchie]

James Ingram, RIP 2019 ! Thank you, my brother !

[@pietervanhofwegen]

Jesus Molina yellow shirt! Hahahaha lol

[@Boris_Chang]

What’s so funny about Jesus wearing a yellow shirt?

[@anthonyblack825]

The most amazing Hammond player ever lived on this earth. A musical magician indeed. Wow.

[@jerometaylor4243]

Bruh, you might be stretching that just a tad there my friend! Don't forget there was Jimmy Smith, Charles Earland, Jimmy McGriff, Groove Holmes and Jack McDuff, all of which I got a chance to play except for Groove Holmes! Not to mention the females organists, Shirley Scott and Barbara Dennerlein and a whole host of beasts!! Taking absolutely nothing away from Joey DeFrancesco, whom I've had the pleasure to meet and hear him play live, he is such a beast in his own right and may be the best living today, but the best who ever lived on this earth, c'mon bro, back it up a little bit bruh!! LOL I feel you though!!!

[@IvoryPerry3rd]

Cory Henry is young and hungry. He is no slouch on the Hammond B3 at all.

[@daunierthompson8978]

Cory Henry fym

[@fusionfan6883]

Absolutely Joey no question but the greats innovated and changed the game......can I respectfully put forward the one and only a Brian Auger......who introduced a new more modern approach the the Hammond blending beautifully jazz, rock, soul and funk! Herbie Hancock called him the greatest Hammond player alive and he has been so productive since the early 60s. There is room on this earth for all these greats however, and Joey is most certainly one of them.

[@freddiesanke64]

Anthony Black .... He digs Jimmy Smith

[@KingD-light]

One of my favorite songs by the late James Ingram 😁I'm loving this.

[@deacondavis5098]

Miles Davis taught you well!!!

[@yoshikimaicoimelb-c0261]

To dear music friends. That's excellent. Very great! Music has the power to move people's heart freely. Music has no borders. I am playing my organ in my own way as a hobby. I wish you happiness and health from Japan. Along with music! From YOSHIKI

[@yoshikimaicoimelb-c0261]

Thank You☘️😌 Please subscribe to my channel！

[@Belchmaster41]

@@yoshikimaicoimelb-c0261 I think it's a little bit way to fast, compared how he plays it with his band mates on 🎸 & 🥁 s

[@MrYgor44]

Долгих, долгих счастливых и плодотворных лет жизни любимому исполнителю! Long, long happy and fruitful years of life to your favorite performer!

[@RobotChampionSC]

Damn Mr. DeFrancesco you're such a beast...thank you for sharing this witn us 😁

[@itzikshoshan3685]

It makes me wanna cry. This man is gifted!

[@catboyzee]

Caught myself looking at my computer screen sideways trying to see what drawbar settings Joey is using...LMBO!!! I love how Joey is using some very practical and standardized settings to show what his signature Viscount can do sonically.

[@jeffreygriffin7248]

Thank you so much for this! You are a beast on that organ Joey! Lol you did James proud fo sho! R.I.P James Ingram.

[@B3burner]

I first heard Joey D. on a jazz radio station in the SF Bay Area (KCSM); playing his rendition of "Work Song", from his 'Live at the 5 Spot' album; back in what I believe was 1992 or 93. Since then, I've had nothing but great admiration and respect for this gentleman.

[@poppealvento3188]

Grandissimo Joey. In tutti i sensi !

[@bj9smith]

SMOOKIN! What a keyboard artist. Brain to fingers-exquisite!!! The best.

[@johnsanchez4957]

Its. Jesus molina in the back ? Or its my imagination.

[@jamesdavis5096]

Okay I just don't know what who the f*** is this guy what other things has he played on that you played on right TV theme songs or I just don't know nothing about him

[@JimManeri]

Really? I’ll give you a clue- toured with Miles Davis at age 16.

[@KyleWhitlock-Music]

drummer guy quickly snapped into playing the correct beat when Joey looked at him! So funny

[@botifarra]

He wanted to play a bossa pattern, but Joey said "back beat!"

[@sdkdrummer]

Joey gave him a few looks. Dude, you're not there to show off. You're there to support the man.

[@nezkeys79]

Lol didnt even sound bad before he said back beat

[@MrKeys57]

But the drummer is a very good drummer, skilfull

[@RivieraByBuick]

i like this funny term of yours "the correct beat"

[@philadube1394]

He played this song last week in South Africa, he is genius. I could not miss that great performance over 2 days.

[@danielmoreno8945]

Jesus Molina and kemuel roig in the background 🔥

[@jimcole6423]

Joey is the "Jimmy Smith" of our time. Enjoy!

[@stuffnuns]

Swingin. Nice Hammond simulation on that Viscount. Of course, with JDF playing, it’s magic.

[@Phoenix-One0922]

FINALLY!!!!! A TRUE PERFORMER WHO COMES AND PLAYS AS ONE SHOULD! NO TALKING, NO EXPLAINING HOW MANY FARTS PER BAR AND SIMPLY PURE BLISS!!! AND BY THE WAY, NO FUCKING MILLENNIAL STUPID MUSIC!!! 100 HUNDRED WAY IS A CLASSIC LIKE SO MANY SONGS FROM THE PAST BUT UNSURPASSED BY ANY OF TODAY'S "ARTISTS".

[@tmac5502]

He's ridiculous absolutely talented

[@lesliehayton2929]

T Mac Have you heard him on trumpet ? Wow

[@TedMarciano]

Grazie, caro Joey sei di un livello sovraumano.

[@stanisawk1385]

From 5:55 to the end, it`s great and fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@troublesomecorsair]

Those bass runs are ridiculous

[@lejeffbarker6346]

Show us ...!

[@edegliantoni]

you mean rediculously damn good? indeed they are

[@leonardorochadutra8811]

Blow us out of the water!!

[@seanwash1]

He found more than one hundred ways to perform this song. LOL

[@Willeivery]

It's crazy to think we came out of the same Highschool in Philly. So much talent in the city of brotherly love.

[@timobatana6705]

That drummer sterilized the beat. ;(

[@stuart8663]

People would start going to a real church based on this song alone!

[@JoshuaHults]

if you go to a church for anything besides Christ, ur wasting your time lol

[@stanisawk1385]

Coś nieprawdopodobnego !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow - niech zakrzyknę po staropolsku :-)

[@nicolapaccione5688]

Is that jesus Molina in the yellow shirt🤗

[@MarkJPerry]

What they say: - 10,000 hours to master something....? ...and the rest!!!

[@lucawade379]

Jesus Molina in the background!!

[@namakudamono]

Superb! Thank you for uploading the full tune!

[@corenchiereynaldo2417]

His hand independence in my opinion is through the roof. Very gifted.

[@entrendzik]

DeFrancesco never ceases to amaze, but drummer also has skills.

[@patricksaxon3983]

Funny that he made the big switch from Hammond/Suzuki to Viscount. He was crazy about Hammond, but to another name brand. I do not like none of the two, I prefer Wersi.

[@Ricky_Olckers]

Why did Joey allow this drummer to play???? Too fast dude, way too fast... Drummer lacks soul man... Go and listen to soul drummer guy. Irritating actually.

[@MrKeys57]

I just got my Keyb, not the black signed version by Joey,D (sorry:) but the wooden version, the Legend, but i have a thousand steps to climb to get even near this gigante! Greetings, Levi in Sweden

[@78musiksphere]

is that john meyer in the back?

[@TheKalv83]

Triple H is playing a drum..omg..

[@JUSTINNDOBY]

The circuit board on the organ overheated. 30 more seconds and it would of started smoking.

[@randie1219]

ME: brain.exe has stopped working

[@beauhatman4395]

doesn't sound like a Hammond....jus sayin

[@gktde9874]

Yep...just check his other KZbin-version with a real hammond b3. What a difference!

[@DHarri9977]

An absolute joy to listen to.

[@pnojazz]

What a privilege it was to see Joey perform in person!

[@pandemonet]

What a joy to experience that!

[@pavelmilkman6227]

Jesus Molina watching, best keyboard plzyer

[@D_in_DC]

Drummer kept fucking up...lol. I hate when drummers try to be stars at the wrong moments.. haha

[@jimihendrix1575]

Just like I taught him!

[@gd.m5968]

The drummer is Peppe Merolla from Naples TOP

[@donppricemusic9285]

Bad dude

[@kevinl.valentine4514]

Is Pepe Morrola on the Kit?

[@SUNFLAREbandlatinjazz]

Joey should have just went with the bossa - horrrendous back beat - poor drummer has no clue how to lay down a pocket. Sorry

[@cueroycuerdas2860]

2 people ??? Damm ...This 6 minutes sounds like a whole band .

[@Steven-zg5bq]

that their left hand should be illegal joey!

[@TheBrakedown]

One of the best musicians on earth

[@ziggyzettel6668]

Saw him in PHX about a decade ago and glad to see him going strong.

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

I love this guy, what a groove ;-). He can play whatever organ there is - it doesn't matter, it sounds awesome. It seems Joey has lost weight, that's also good news. At one point I was worried ...

[@twagenknecht]

Love this version. Thanks Joey. And someone needs to find out the 'Take me to church" dude. He is in most organ videos...Who is dat guy?

[@johnwattdotca]

It must be more than just nice if you can display some musical genius during an afternoon showcase. Joey still looks like he can move his organ all by himself. That's even better.

[@AECSRQ]

Such a tinny sound, like a poorly sampled organ patch from a Clavinova.

[@gigifigi120]

Peppe Merolla on drums. Ciao Peppe, ti ricordi di me? Costa Victoria con Pistocchi?

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

Alright, that was great...now who's gonna do the cooking for these guys?

[@jjacob25101]

So awesome, and such an ironically timely tribute to James Ingram...

[@77salad57]

Awesome bass lines that is not played by bassist. I envy you keyboardists. ha ha

[@VomdoesGamingYT]

Let us see the true distance between that man (WHITEBEARD) and me..- Mihawk.... If you know what this comment means.

[@MichelLinschoten]

What Peterson did on piano , he does on organ that sound never gets old
