[@calikali2420]

Watching this video after losing both Joey D and Pat Martino is just devastating. I saw them both live many many times over the years. 2 of my favorite musicians on the planet. Their loss is incalculable. With Dr Lonnie Smith gone too, there is NO ONE that comes even close to Joey's joy on the organ. And for straight ahead jazz, Pat was the King of the guitar. It hurts so bad to lose your greatest heroes. Especially when it happens in bunches like it just did. Joey D RIP. Pat Martino RIP. Dr Lonnie Smith RIP.

[@TheBmills415]

Yea... Straight jazz.... Nobody i can think of. Everyone current is mix of everything tbh

[@murrayatuptown353]

Give Gerard Gibbs a chance, with James Carter Organ Trio. Plenty of joy, or some kind of over-the-top emotion.

[@jdrealpec]

I just love how Joey picks up both previous solos taking a bit of both, some Pat's own classic solo (a bit at 7:19) and John's impresive scales (a bit at 7:00) and then a big ending of his own. Absolute geniuses.

[@HotelierNYC]

Good ear. Astonishing how well these guys can play off each other!

[@jasminetomca]

All respect to the 2 guitar legends, but few excite like Joey. The way he built that solo was otherworldly

I'm convinced there's a bass player hiding off-stage playing that monstrous bass line, How can someone play that line as well as hold up the harmony?! Joeys the Boss!

[@sisenbarg]

Same. I'm glad someone else hears it.

[@rickmilam413]

I'm trying to figure it out. It just doesn't sound like an organ. I know he accompanies with bass pedals most of the time but I don't know what this is.

[@NS-py9cw]

I almost agreed until I listened very carefully and you can actually hear it is the organ when he does the fast notes and the really deep ones

[@carloalbertorassaval3275]

So true

[@tmaxliveevents5391]

[@davidhiggins7699]

If Joey was only "playing bass" with his feet without comping, soloing, and basically killing his B3, it would still already be astonishing.

[@scraptheplanet4446]

Pat is an absolute menace and genius for just bopping on those 3 notes for endless bars. Legendary player and Philadelphian. Love this performance.

[@BigIrishCrooner]

Scofield, Whatever your opinions on his tone, is someone who has always supported the use of distortions, overdrive pedals, and effects. I, for one, think that he's got an interesting tone, that opens up possibilities for players to experiment with. And that is what's great about music of this type.

[@deparko]

Amazing solo!!!!!

[@anomynousguitarist5950]

The more I watch this, the more amazed I am of Scofield's ability to pick that up after Martino's brutal solo. Guess it takes time to appreciate that

And he does it by doing his own thing :D

[@squirrelorama]

Sco's phrasing is unparalleled IMO. He always sounds fresh while still swinging like a boss

[@murrayatuptown353]

No doubt, Sco has diverse chops...nothing he can't play.

*Joey literally plays bass with his feet better than most people do with their hands.*

[@jconli1]

he is mostly using his left hand, but still...

[@torridscene]

In this case, as is very often the case with JDF, he is playing the bass line(s) with his left hand. It is true, Joey CAN play the pedals, but he rarely ever does so. The Hammond organ, in all its models of the "tone-generator" phase of production, has incredible bass in the lower manual, and so a lot of people, when they hear that bass, naturally think it just must be the pedals, but it's not so. Left hand, bro. I almost hate to break the spell, but.... Joey, on occasion, has even been what we organists call a "foot-faker" - the guy plays the bass with his left hand on the lower manual, but whilst doing so, dandles and wobbles around his left foot over the pedals to make it look like he's playing the pedals. Sorry. But it's still a fantastic performance, as it always is with Joey DeFrancesco.

[@andybaldman]

@@torridscene Doesn't change my original statement. Usually when he plays with his feet he'll put his left hand in the air to show he isn't using it. There are plenty of examples on youtube.

[@nickyfarrell3024]

Andybaldman, Torridscene is right. The Hammond B3 organ has one defect. There is no sustain on the bass pedals. So it does not matter how great you are, it is impossible to play a fluent walking bass on the pedals, especially at a very fast tempo….Jimmy Smith discovered that by playing bass with the left hand and tapping the bass pedals like a bass drum, you get a thump that sounds like an acoustic bass. And so all of the Jazz organists that came after him played that way. If you pay attention to the Jazz organ players most of them just tap one pedal, while the left hand plays the bass. When an organist uses his left hand to change the Leslie, or to change the drawbars, then for a brief moment he plays the bass pedals , most of the time it’s just one pedal he is playing. So when you see Joey D. holding up his left hand, it’s just for a brief moment…… So, to repeat what Torridscene said, “I’m sorry to break the spell”. But 90% of Hammond B3 Jazz bass is done with the left hand. However in ballads, because of the slow tempo, sometimes, I repeat, sometimes the bass is done on the pedalboard only….. Many Blessings to you🙏🏾

[@andybaldman]

@@nickyfarrell3024 Doesn't matter now, Joey is dead.

[@frankwalders]

Wow Joey, you sure made the sun shine! So much talent and technical skills, but always using it to play musically.

Is there a better version of Sunny then this one? Probably not. Joey goes off on his solo. Wow.

[@torridscene]

With a song as glorious as "Sunny," there is no "best version." Bobby Hebb created a beautiful masterpiece of a song that is just MADE for multiple, numerous interpretations. This rendition here is magnificent, but one should not ignore the many other stunning renditions/performances that are out there. And there are many. But yeah, I agree, Joey just kills in his solo on this one!

On top of an amazing trio, did I mention 'Trio' is two of the most amazing guitarists playing together on the same gig. They are the top of the TOP! But Martino and Scolfield with a show stopper! DeFrancesco. What is it with these amazing Italian musicians? I love Italian musicians. My music library is full of amazing Italian musicians. Now like one of the other comments about the bass player. I was wondering early in the video where is the bassist in the video. But then Duh!!! It's Joey DeFrancesco!!!!!! Playing incredibly fast, brilliantly melodic bass lines with his feet!!! Hats off to these incredibly beautiful musicians. This removes the stress of my day. Love it, love it, love it!!!

[@marswabisabi8918]
