NAMM 2020 Joey DeFrancesco plays "Ring A Ding" at the Legend booth

[@bluarcher5941]

I'm not a keyboard player but I played music for a living for many years (guitar and bass). I see Joey going through these changes and playing the bass line on the lower register and it still blows me away. I realize he's done this for many years, but he's just laughing and looking around and playing these lines like he's not even really thinking about where he's going next...it's just mind-blowing to me, still to this day. God, what a wonderful player he is.

[@thomasreuter1968]

Nothing to add...

[@DejaView]

Just beginning to discover the greatness of this guy and then I hear he's gone. What a bummer...

[@ernoszenti9576]

What an Elegant drummer

[@daviddoyle4516]

I remember this stuff,,, they called it MUSIC!!!!

[@wdilks]

Jeff Hamilton on drums is an absolute monster. Listen to what he does during this vamp with a bass drum triplet at 8:14...absolute TNT blowout!!!!! Love you man! And Joey too, same goes for his sax man. Absolute control and power with taste!!! Also, at 7:12 where Jeff snares Joey...beautiful!!!

[@Quirin_Niedermeier]

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

[@ChromaticHarp]

How do you know he’s not in Hell® ? After all, he Played Jazz™️

Joey is the Oscar Peterson of the Organ. It's great that he's accompanied by a jazz legend like the drummer Jeff Hamilton and a great saxophonist

[@MichelLinschoten]

carlos nagy Oscar was a prodigy imho .. the man played after his stroke with one hand, still better than most even could with two . Insane

And Joey too, same goes for his sax man. Absolute control and power with taste!!! Also, at 7:12 where Jeff snares Joey...beautiful!!!

[@squirrelorama]

Jeff is fantastic. I couldnt believe my ears duribg his three little 8-bar solos from 5:17 - 6:09!! 😅 That last syncopated, quarter-notes to eighth note-triplet snare-bass fill was so unexpectedly sublime! 😊

[@christophergeorge8688]

JOEY'S entire family were organists -his father and brother. Joey played with the great Jimmy Smith when he was a young boy. Jimmy's talent certainly comes through. I cherish my Dvd both of Joey and Jimmy. They both are missed and won't be replaced anytime soon.

[@Newambientmusic]

The melodic line in the bass and the solos of Joey are Amazing always

[@jimmiecisco]

Oh yeah . I was thinking the same thinking the same thing. Where is that bass player. Then I looked at his left hand ...oh yeah. Really.

[@flyingmashroom]

Don't forget he can switch his left hand bass to foot bass in anytime.

[@angelsantos4800]

Joey D is magic.

[@douglasbranham6099]

You mentioned a machine lifting itself which reminds me of a true story from a refinery during a strike. While the union members are out on strike, managers and engineers operate the refinery and maintain it. A go-devil or platform crane is a wonder machine for lifting smaller and lighter parts. It is small and maneuverable. A younger engineer was operating a go-devil and got a flat tire. The engineer had to change the tire himself. To lift the weight off the flat tire, he put the hook on the skirt above the tire. Fortunately, somebody saw what was happening and stopped him. You cannot lift yourself by your bootstraps nor can you lift a crane by hooking onto itself.

[@gcpezzi]

8:15... knock knock!!! :)

[@avalanche9026]

Drummer mind blowing. Consider his age ?? Not mentioning organ ? Wooooowee. Sax also So much talent. Unreal

I have seen both Joey and Jeff but not together. I saw Jeff play in the restaurant where Beretta’s wife was shot play with Akiko tsuruga and it was great. He is a master and played with all the greats. Joey left us to soon. I hopped I would see him move when he moved to Scottsdale not the case

[@marike1100]

Would be nice if the sound man would turn up the sax player's microphone if he has one, he sounds great. Joey is the man.

Markus Arike sounds like it's recorded using the camera mic, he needed to move closer.

I had the pleasure of attending Joey D's saxophone clinic a few months before his transition. Somehow he was also a MONSTER on that instrument. A segment from that session became the core of this tribute video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6HLp6eJZ72fZ7M

This one is especially for all the drummers who have kits so big you can't even see them play... Burner, using just a snare, swinging his a$$ off!

Jeff Hamilton is one of the best to play drums, so with a ride and snare he can make magic happen. Just as he just did in this video.
