About
Joey DeFrancesco follows Larry Coryell with two choruses on organ, completing the solo section. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 128 BPM over the 44-bar AABAC in E♭, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. "Wagon Wheels" is a relaxed swing performance from Joey DeFrancesco's 2012 album Wonderful! Wonderful!, featuring the organist and guitarist Larry Coryell trading solos over Peter DeRose's 44-bar AABAC form in E-flat major. Recorded for the album Wonderful! Wonderful! in 2012, the performance captures Joey DeFrancesco at 40 to 41 years old. DeFrancesco's two-chorus organ solo brings the warmth and swing of the soul jazz tradition, his Hammond B3 producing the rich, churning tones that have made him the instrument's most prominent modern practitioner.
Joey DeFrancesco was 40 to 41 years old at the time.
