I will just PRAY Joey is in heaven for the absolute divine jazz organist he was on earth. I just can't fathom his total technique, improvisational skills, dynamics in expression, changing tones, ALL just far too much to absorb !
I twice met this gracious and humble hero. His performance seems to encapsulate the peak of his incredible imagination and keyboard mastery. I cannot listen to this, or even write this comment without deep sadness and tears.
Joey takes his mentor Jimmy Smith’s brilliant transformation of a CHURCH ORGAN into the most soulful jazz instrument of the mid-20th century to the next level. Like Jimmy, he uses the Hammond’s powerful tonality to pull off legato improvised leads, something only horn players were able to do previously.
Rip Joey, your music will live on forever in my life
I love Joey. He left us way too soon. Never a pretend-jazz kind of player. Always the real thing. Keep playing in Heaven, Joey.
