We’ll truly miss you Joey DeFrancesco! Thank you for all the joy you’ve spread throughout the world during your lifetime. RIP!

Rip Joey, inarguably one the greatest organists of all time.

A respective nod to the great Charles Earland. Thank you, Joey DeFrancesco for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.

I never liked this tune till I heard Joey do it. Now I want to play it!

Man, this reminds me when I was visiting some friends in Harlem in the late 60's and hanging out in a jazz club in the middle of the day. There was a guy playing the B3 who was really good. The Mighty Burner (Charles Earland) happened to drop in and the owner persuaded him to climb up on the monster (B3). Earland played so much organ that he had us standing on our feet emoting sounds from our bodies, It was unbelievable for one man to be able to play that much music. It was a day of music that I will remember as long as I live! More Today Than Yesterday was one of the Mighty Burner's signature tunes. Joey has learned his lessons well.

Hugging Joey Di Francesco and telling the gratitude I owe him for as much and as often his talent and his enthusiasm have lifted my battered soul, is in my bucket list.

The late great Joey D.

Always keep coming back to this.

Love your music Joey RIP..... you're going to be missed

Joey handled this!!...very well done...

Yeah, what can I say other than you cat's been to heaven and back to tell us how sweet it is and Joey, that solo you played was so tasty I had to check and see if Jesus was in the house, so keep swinging soulfully and every now and then look up to the heavens baby boy, and you just might see the Angels cheering you on. Much love for you little brother!

Joey, I hope you live a VERY long life. You are one of my favorite jazz musicians. I absolutely LOVE seeing you play!!!

this comment hits hard. sorry for our loss martin

Joey is just so good on organ. Great feel, great groove. I love the laid back 'party' vibe of this gig : D

One of my most favorite clips of Joey .. which is actually part 1 of two clips .. part 1, as you see here gets truncated near the end of the number .. part 2 continues with a fantastic climactic finish with the drummer playing like it was the gig of his life .. Joe then asks for a "church beat" and they go into a fantastic gospel number .. Both clips were available for quite some time but then deleted .. Great to have part 1 back .. but part 2 would complete the set ..

All the great jazz organists seem to come from Philly...Must be something in the air....

Love Joey D and his Magnificent playing on the greatest Organ, the Hammond!! Thanks for posting.

been playing bass for many, many years and i cant play the "bass" as good as him never mind being able to solo at the same time!

The Charles Earland classic!

Joey is the greatest living organist of today! Bar none!!!!

If you like this, check out the Charles Earland version. Very similar. Makes you wonder if it was one of Joey's personal influences for the tune.

No but check the Charles Earland version.

Omg, Joey looked like he had a Itch during his solo and he was trying to get to it! Wow did he use a lot of body English in this one.

Anyone know the names of the other musicians?

on sax at around 1:58 slows it down then gets nice: well done by all

Joey - You are the best! But quality 240p - what a big mistake
