I attended the Newcastle Jazz Festival concert. At the time, DeFrancesco, in his early twenties, was a relative newcomer. What a great career. Gone at just 51.
Me too Russell though I only found out he was the organist quite recently.
I saw Joey DeFrancesco playing in a small room during the Cork Jazz Festival with his trio. He had on guitar the great Paul Bollenbeck and Byran Landrum on drums and he cooked up a storm. Later on a couple of jazz cruises he took part in jam sessions alongside Donald Harrison, Jimmy Heath, David Fathead Newman and many more.There was no energy crisis when he playing.
