Joey DeFrancesco — Trip Mode (November 6, 2015)
★↔★•♦♦• Je li hudba jazykem, jazz je filosofií tohoto jazyka. Pokud ho implementujeme korektně, neřku–li medově, může to být určujícím a konečným tvarem vlastního projevu, a ten může být proveden mnoha způsoby. Bobby McFerrin například používá jen své hlasivky. Pat Metheney svou kytaru a Keith Jarrett své piano. Můžou svůj nástroj používat k vyjádření svého výkladu hudebního Písma. Jedním z těchto nástrojů je Hammond Organ, a muž zodpovědný za oživení nástroje zpátky směrem k populární hudbě je Joey DeFrancesco. Dosáhl úspěchu v jazzovém žánru používat oba původní ‘tonewheel Hammondy’ a nový B–3. Pochází z hudební rodiny a vydal své první album ve věku 16. Docela stíhá: trojnásobně nominován na Grammy Awards. Je 9.–násobným vítězem Down Beat Critics Poll a získal Down Beat Readers Poll pokaždé od roku 2005. Získal řadu ocenění JazzTimes. DeFrancesco byl uveden v roce 2013 do síně slávy Hammond, kde už jsou další hudební legendy: Brian Auger, Billy Preston, Steve Winwood a jeho mentor Jimmy Smith. Mistr jazzových varhan, trumpetista a zpěvák Joey DeFrancesco swinguje tvrdě a neskutečným tahem přímo vpřed. Již v raném věku ohromný talent. Připojil se k Miles Davis bandu, když mu bylo sedmnáct. V osmnácti začal cestovat s vlastním kvartetem. Ve dvaadvaceti ho John Mclaughlin povolal do tria spolu s bubeníkem Dennisem Chambersem, tvoří skupinu “Free Spirits”. Následně, Joey pracoval s velikány, jakými byli George Benson, James Moody a Ray Charles. Joey DeFranccesco je okamžitě připraven zaútočit na jakýkoli hudební sál se svou hudebností/muzikálností, technikou, energií a velkým smyslem pro humor, klidně i po dobu téměř dvou hodin. Joey hraje na Hammond a Nord, zpívá a hraje na trubku, po boku bicích (Jason Brown), basy (Mike Boone) a kytarového mistra (Dan Wilson), aby radikálně vyjádřil své hudební cítění, chuť, a sdílel jedinečný druh interpretačních dovedností pro nadšené publikum které je ochotné projevit naprostou úctu za to, že mělo možnost stát se svědkem zvukového zázraku. To je velmi důležité, protože Joey DeFrancesco opakovaně poukázal na podporu živé hudby. Vyjádřil to po svém: “Different day, different city”. Nic nemůže nahradit energii, atmosféru, a magickou zvukovou konverzaci, které mohou být vytvořeny pouze live. Co je stejně pozoruhodné, existují umělci, kteří mají schopnost přenášet znovu a znovu tuto energii, atmosféru a kouzlo ve svých nahrávkách. A Joey DeFrancesco je více než schopen dělat právě to, jak je to patrné z jeho posledního alba. O svém nástroji smýšlí pozitivně: “Každý je má rád. To vám dává dobrý pocit ... Myslím, že obliba Hammondů je nyní větší, než kdy jindy.”

Editorial Reviews
•••• It’s rare for one man to change the face of an instrument, and before he turns forty, but Joey DeFrancesco has done just that. He has been performing since he was a child, following in the footsteps of his jazz–playing father and grandfather. A seasoned musician by his teens, today, DeFrancesco is a Grammy–nominated artist with over 50 recordings as a leader and numerous collaborations with the masters of modern jazz in his legacy, DeFrancesco deservingly takes his place alongside organ greats of the past like Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, and Larry Young.

Review
•••• Is it us, or does Joey DeFrancesco just keep getting better and better? The Hammond player’s always been one of the best of his generation — but his recent run of records really has us sitting up and taking notice all over again, and maybe finally ranking Joey with some of our favorite organ jazz giants from years back! This album has the confidence, clarity, and vibrancy that few folks can really bring to the instrument — maybe Don Patterson or Charles Earland back in the day — although we’d hardly paint Joey with the same brush, as he’s got a unique approach that’s definitely all his own, and getting better and better every year. DeFrancesco also plays a bit of trumpet on the record — and those tracks feature additional bass from Mike Boone — who joins Jason Brown on drums and Dan Wilson on guitar. Titles include “Trip Mode”, “Who Shot John”, “Traffic Jam”, “Cuz U No”, “In That Order”, and “On Georgian Bay”. © 1996–2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
