The b3 dynamite was such a blessing to the b3 family and more!! So missed 💝💝💝😢💝🎹🎹🎹😢

[@stevenschwartz1278]

May 23, 2022 is when I was last blessed to see and hear and talk to Joey. That night his dad was in the audience. He played the B-3, trumpet, sax, and even sang. I miss him nore than I can say. Music lost a giant. On April 9th, 2023 a tribute concert in his honor was held at the MIM in Phoenix. His wife spoke to us about him. It was so sad and yet so joyous as Lewis Nash and Ronnie Foster played their hearts out in tribute to the man. His music will live on.

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

R.I.P Mr. Defrancesco What a loss.

[@chauncywashington2227]

[@kim2ft]

Rest In Peace Joey - your soul will dance forever.

[@kevinskuhagen2120]

R.I.P. Joey. Your music will live on and on.

“Today jazz loses a point of reference - says La Spezia jazz drummer Matteo Cidale -, a great talent, a multi-instrumentalist. He had been discovered by Miles Davis and from that moment Joey went through the fundamental and most important stages playing with the greats of the world jazz scene. He recorded his first album at the age of 16 and he found himself playing on the most important stages with names of the caliber of Jimmy Smith, Benny Golson, Elvin Jones, Ray Charles, Diana Krall and many others ”. Many messages of condolence on social media, especially of disbelief and dismay from insiders, musicians, friends and people who have known Joey's great talent.

[@georgecurington8156]

This man was the man that was born on planet earth and decided at an early age that the organ would become an organ of his own body.

[@nonitoypogie7544]

rest in peace joeyD. your great music will live on.

Around 2002, I met him after a Nashville show. I shook his hand and exclaimed, "I do believe Art Tatum done got reincarnated as an organ grinder!" He grinned and replied, "Thanks!". Around 2004, I inquired about a B3 he had for sale on eBay. Later, when I met him after a show, he remembered, and asked "Did you buy an organ yet?" Although monstrously gifted, he seemed genuinely approachable and even humble. What's all this dust in my eyes?

[@rotaryshutter]

With all the BS we’ve endured in recent years (and the recent loss of Pat Martino), I’m truly thankful this Thanksgiving weekend that Joey DeFrancesco and friends are still testifying.

[@thebreathalyzer]

and how. yeah, man this is the shizz

[@blondyvanweirden7099]

😢

[@marcom6309]

no longer... RIP Joey D

[@rotaryshutter]

Terrible shock - a cruel and tragic loss. There are special artists who deeply touch our souls. We rejoice at their gifts they share and truly ache when they are gone; too many, too soon. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Joey DeFrancesco’s family, dear friends, and colleagues.

[@musicmh1]

One of the most talented musicians of his time- I gonna miss him a lot. Rest In Peace.

[@lownessfunk4932]

Joey is the man. Always will be!

[@JForYou]

Rest in peace Master Joey D❤️🎹🎷

[@khandrum]

What an amazing musician his feel his swing and improvs are up there in the stratos !!

[@richardwalker9826]

i think Joey could take any composition great or small and make it into something better and special- because he was something special.

[@massimomerighi]

RIP Big Joey

[@GestattenWinnetou]

Why is it I‘m always smiling when Joey‘s on? 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

[@jaytea42]

Make a Joyful Noise !

[@richardwhitehouse6874]

The other keyboard player is Lucas Brown - he plays guitar as well as keyboard. Here he's playing a Wurlitzer electric piano sound on that Viscount - quite nice - both Lucas's playing, and the Wurly sound from the Viscount.

[@frankywatte5646]

It just makes me smile.Thank you Joey😎

[@jefftaylor5884]

His musicality, dynamic, taste, technique, swing!! His ability to mimic a section perfectly under the clarinet! Ernie’s playing captivates me like no other.

[@CINEMATOGRAPHERGR]

Perfect and beautiful

[@jamonk12]

😭 He's gone and I couldn't see him

[@tomg669]

Just saw Joey and his trio perform this at the Berks Jazz Fest in April 2022 never thinking he would be gone 4 months later. Watched his NAMM 2022 performance never thinking 2 months later… R.I.P. Soulful Swing Monster.

[@pbenson56fran]

Like what I am hearing

[@guitarttimman]

He was the best❤

[@dianneravanesi1339]

This is the way I like Joey to play. Swinging jazzy dancing music is, what I believe he does best.

[@acovingt]

really so sad about his loss. i wanted to see him live again so badly. such an amazing joyful dude.

[@celsorafael8811]

Fabuloso!

[@canyouhelpmeplease69]

That's our Joey!

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Joey is one bad dude (thanks a million to his idol, Jimmy Smith! He's very SOULFUL! The pianist and drummer here are also "laying down the funk" perfectly!

[@pauljackson7877]

I'll have some more of that, Thank you!

[@christiankern2752]

Joey war der Grösste!

[@oOoACFREEMANoOo]

didnt know.... rip happy to have watched you live. thanks

[@echodelta9]

I still like the real thing. I've been keeping Hammond organs running for years. Sound aside the key length of a Hammond is probably the best mechanical key ever made. I wonder if those modern keys compare. When you are this good it matters less but for most of us it's a feel that helps us play best. You are the living inspiration of the Hammond jive.

[@jgurtz]

Great to listen to Joey one more time even if now it has to be on the screen. RIP Joey

[@1000000trs]

Boom, and the the day is ok again - sweet.

[@giannibiancocircus]

Joey, Rip, venne a Torino con Miles Davis ai punti verdi. Indimenticabile

[@jazzplayer59]

Love it👍

[@latinpocho]

sensacional.

[@dalewhite5279]

Who’s the other Wirly keyboard Player pls & thx?

[@jordanfernandes581]

Lucas Brown.

[@melchimichel3979]

I think that's Lucas Brown. I'm not sure why the notes have him down as a guitarist.

[@eumakka]

Yep it’s me, and I also play guitar! Thanks for listening!

[@echodelta9]

Sounds more like a Rhodes patch.

[@puffek]

@@eumakka Wow. Superb solo! Congrats :)

[@gislive8259]

🙌🏽

[@craigbrowning9448]

Who is the Second Keyboard?

[@SeanFenlon]

RIP Joey. Miss ya already. But something about Viscount organs... not quite a peer to a Hammond B3 but better than a synth/sampler IMHO.

[@michaelireland7239]

if you dont want to dance after hearing joey on the hammond b3 then you are dead

[@paulbin]

What is the song called this is based on?

[@melchimichel3979]

I don't know if it's based on one particular song. I hear references to "The Preacher" (Horace Silver), "Doxy" (Sonny Rollins), and "Hallelujah, I love her so" (Ray Charles), though none of those chord changes fits exactly.

[@paulbin]

@@melchimichel3979 yes, thank you! It was "Doxy" I was looking for👍🙂

[@martinmark5100]

Good bye, Joey...

[@ricardomoraesbressan243]

Now he´s a thin man !

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Trade up for a lighter ball and chain. Viscount!

[@wdilks]

Love it!
