Joey deFrancesco Trio at the Bach Sunday

Today, Joey DeFrancesco is regarded by organ aficionados as the baddest B-3 burner in the business (a claim supported by his four consecutive DownBeat Critics Poll awards for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005).

The Philadelphia native established his credentials with virtuoso technique and an innate soulfulness that spearheaded a renewed interested in the Hammond organ.  Joey’s dazzling facility was once described as "Combining monstrous chops with a flair for showmanship and an unquenchable urge to burn, DeFrancesco almost single-handedly put the Beast back in the public eye."
