About
Joey DeFrancesco follows Larry Coryell with two and a half choruses on organ, completing the solo section. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 123 BPM over the 32-bar ABAC in B♭, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. DeFrancesco follows with two and a half choruses on Hammond B3 organ, his playing building from gentle opening statements to the full-bodied, gospel-tinged declarations that are his trademark. Recorded for the album Wonderful! Wonderful! in 2012, the performance captures Joey DeFrancesco at 40 to 41 years old. Victor Young's "Love Letters" is given a warm, medium-swing treatment on Joey DeFrancesco's 2012 album Wonderful! Wonderful!, with guitarist Larry Coryell and the organist sharing the solo space over the 32-bar ABAC form in B-flat major.
Joey DeFrancesco was 40 to 41 years old at the time.
