Joey DeFrancesco Organ Trio

Beginning with Miles Davis at age 22, Joey DeFrancesco has played with just about everyone... Ray Charles, Arturo Sandoval, James Moody, Elvin Jones and Joe Lovano to name a few.

Joey is a three time Grammy Nominee and nine time winner of DownBeat Magazine’s Critic’s Poll, as well as winning DownBeat Reader’s Poll every year since 2005!

In 2014 he was inducted into the inaugural Hammond Organ Hall of Fame. DeFrancesco deserves to be called “Master of the Hammond B3 organ.” His legacy is already secured next to Fats Waller, Wild Bill Davis and Jimmy Smith.

“…ranging from sublime to positively pyrotechnic… the best B3 player on the planet” —Jazz Times

“Mr. DeFrancesco is a deeply authoritative musician, a master of the rhythmic pocket, and the custom of stomping bass lines beneath chords and riffs.” —New York Times

“No organist today plays with the skill, harmonic depth, and authority of this phenomenon from Philly.” —All about Jazz

This time around, Joey will complement his jazz organ performance with exciting bursts of trumpet tones reminiscent of former employer, Miles Davis.
