Christmas with Joey D!
"Hammond B-3 organ master Joey DeFrancesco gave a knock-out, sold-out show here in September, called the Dunsmore Room his favorite place on the planet and promptly booked a pair of return dates. With Dan Wilson on guitar, Jason Brown on drums, hell set his favorite holiday tunes on funky fire." Pamela Espeland, MinnPost
Joey DeFrancesco was 16 years old when he signed an exclusive recording contract with Columbia Records. The following year he released his first record titled All of Me. His performance on All of Me has been attributed as helping bring back the organ to jazz music during the 1980s. That same year, DeFrancesco joined Miles Davis and his band on a five-week concert tour in Europe. He followed up with playing keyboard on Davis' album Amandla which reached #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart in 1989. DeFrancesco started playing the trumpet around the same time, inspired by the sound of Davis.
