About
Joey DeFrancesco contributes seven choruses on organ, the second of 3 solos on the recording. Taken at a medium-up swing tempo of 175 BPM over the 12-bar Blues in C, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. DeFrancesco follows with seven equally compelling organ choruses, his Hammond B3 tone ranging from whispered drawbar settings to full-throttle Leslie speaker roar. Recorded for the album Wonderful! Wonderful! in 2012, the performance captures Joey DeFrancesco at 40 to 41 years old. Benny Golson's "Five Spot After Dark" receives a smoldering treatment on Joey DeFrancesco's 2012 album Wonderful! Wonderful!, with three soloists contributing to an extended performance that mines the minor blues for maximum dramatic impact.
Joey DeFrancesco was 40 to 41 years old at the time.
