- 1988. For special guest Miles Davis, talk show host Bill Boggs brings in young musicians to play for Miles. Joey DeFrancesco was the organist and Miles wanted to know his name once he heard him play. A few months later, Miles hired Joey. From their 1988 appearance in Warsawkl Poland, Joey solos on Miles' immortal Tutu.
Rest In Peace Joey. It was too short, but what a run you had. We miss your energy and joy.
Just heard this news. So sad.
aah man, didnt know, just saw him at NAMM again recently R.I.P.
I’ve always thought that Oleo quote was so imaginative. What an incredible musician, his legacy will not be forgotten. RIP ❤️❤️
Miles was so great about sharing the limelight with those truly talented; Joey was born great and I'm grateful a giant like Miles embraced him.
I saw Joey D maybe 10 years ago at the Oakville jazz festival in Ontario, Canada. not many people there we had front row seats and his amazing playing just blew my mind
RIP legend.
Miles and Joey are jamming together in jazz heaven now. Play in Peace you beautiful souls!
Wherever they ended up...
Sad he's gone. Such a force. Heard him through the years playing with the best of the best. His passing is something I feel.
Right after I started working at Ensoniq in '86, Joey came by the factory with his mom (they were friends with one of the owners). I stood outside the demo room listening to him play. I was speechless.
a true professional, a true prodigy, a true virtuoso on many instruments besides the keyboard !!!!!!!!!!!! r.i.p joey defrancesco !!!!!!!! what a great priceless video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing Joey play key a keytar is a fever dream but so surreal at the same time. Nobody does it on the organ like Mr. DeFrancesco and his energy and self-accompaniment is still unparalleled.
Amazing how Miles knew absolutely nothing about Joey, but he could recognize his extraordinary talent in just a couple of minutes of listening to him.
Anyone with ears could
@@johnfritzel9833 LOL ! My ears must be horrible. I didn't hear anything special about Joey's playing in that short clip.
@@bobbachelor5930 You have confirmed your hypothesis, congratulations.
Well he did hire Coltrane
Miles probably could tell BEFORE he started playing. He said many times how he could tell just by the way someone walked, talked, dressed, and how he'd pick up or sit at the instrument. His ability as a talent detector was uncanny and proven for 40 years.
Rest in Peace, Joey; thank you for the music...
I recently learned he was also very accomplished on the saxophone. So sad about his passing
He sung and played trumpet very well too
What a talent ! What great feel and ideas. Miles had the gift of music and leadership, so amazing to see them together and that killer band
Wow, I never realized he was just a kid when he played with Miles! RIP
Fantastic seeing this! Joey had that special groove a long time apparently
I was going to see him the first chance I got. Now it’ll never happen and that’s sad. RIP Legend.
Me too.
Sometimes the world just feels upside down. What a sad loss.
Joey God rests his Soul came out of his Mother's womb playing instruments rest in Power Joey D
........R.I.P.Jeoy DeFrancesco..........when Miles hire you on the spot.......that says it all about your talent........
That’s deep to see how much time Miles gave him out front. well let’s face it His maturity as a player and his stage presence away beyond his years at this point. What a mind blowing solo huh?
R.I.P. Joey DeFrancesco
To young such a great loss
Fantastic -wish Joey was still here.
We all do. It was such a loss for our community when he caught a cab at such a young age.
Wow! loved him as an organist but never knew the back story of how he emerged on the jazz scene. Gone but not forgotten. I was always concerned about his weight;n ot always a big guy.
What a legend. Sad that he's gone.
I had the pleasure of meeting Joey D. In Detroit Michigan, actually in Ferndale Michigan, at a record store called Sam's Jams. He gave a great small and short performance. And signed CDs
Hats off absolutely 🎩🎩🎩🎵🎶👏
This is great. I was a fan of Mr. DeFrancesco. I wish he could’ve stayed at this weight. He’d probably be alive today. Health comes first ladies and gentleman. Eat right, go for walks, do things in moderation.
So Cool 😎 R.I.P. Joey Defrancesco 🎹
Legends. 😔
splendido !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shocking to hear of Joey passing, much to soon.
The Band in Heaven just welcomed the great De Francesco, brother Miles and Ramon (Mon) Banda welcomed you to the pearly gates.
Rest In Peace. 🕊🙏🏾
Christian also tells this story on Questlove Supreme. Thanks for sharing this footage
Listen to that magnificent backing funk!!! Marcus on bass? Tutu was on my stereo non-stop for months.
nah Marcus hadn't played live on tour with miles since the early 80s ...i think post 81-83 .. the Night Muisc tv show was the only other live performance together with Marcus and Miles...Marcus continued producing and writing for Miles mid 80s until he passed in 91'
Dude he was just getting started!!
sadly
This was the music for every boss in 1980’s video games
ha!
Oh yeah, I can feel it
One of the baddest jazz organist the world has produced!
The Jazz Video Guy is a mensch who cares. "He is a mensch", that's quite an accomplishment when you hear folks talk about you that way. And when we're sad, like right now, we take comfort in the fact that he's out there, and he does care.
I try. Nothing more, nothing less.
Christian didn't do too bad himself..
This is great to see-thanks for sharing (new to me, tbh). Who is the bass player?
Benny Rietveld
Currently, Benny has been playing with Santana band for over 20 years.
RIP.
RIP JOEY
So sad that his weight increased dramatically from this early clip, the heart just can’t take carrying around so much weight, this taught me a wake up call ! try to keep my weight down and live as long as possible.
We have to take care ourselves to survive.
❣💯
Miles outsourcing the music 😂
RIP
I actually have one of those Yamaha KX-5's, except mine is silver and I wired it so I didn't have to install batteries.
I bet in my hands that Yamaha KX5 would sound like crap! Keytars are so akward to play too, shows how good Joey was!
The do & did sound crap. Even in the hands of a genius ...In fact the whole band sounds terrible.
Agreed. He is no doubt a great player and would run circles around most players in this genre but the keytar sounds like a cheap Casio budget piano. I know the DX-family of sounds are not everyone's cup of tea but the tone makes this performance sound like amateur hour or a demo track on a 90s keyboard.
👍
John Swana at the beginning of the video...?
Yeah
I wish MIDI was what it is now
This is so cool, jeez joey must have still been in his teens. Wasn't Bill Boggs recorded in NYC? It's just curious because I thought Joey was from the Philly area
I know Mr. Boggs did Midday Live at WNEW in NYC. Not sure about the station that broadcast this clip, originally, though.
Hey Jazz video Guy, I went and watched a complete tape of that show. That particular show was taped in Philly. That's right about the Mid day live. I remember it well it was on WNEW channel 5 in NY.
I dig the way Miles interrupted Bill Boggs and wanted to know the organ players name.
Miles heard something he liked and hired Joey shortly thereafter.
Gone too soon damn...
Can anyone tell me the name of this song?
Is it true that Joey DeFrancesco didn't even know how to read music but, was just super talented?
Who is the trumpet player? The young one) Does anyone know?
@Mr John
Thank you
No one wants to talk about Rocky Dennis on drums?
He was amazing, he was fit, how did he get big? RIP
He gained weight by ingesting more calories than he burned, the same way all of us gain weight.
@@MDavidG1 obviously that's how you get fat. I was thinking more of a medical condition like taking steroids like Shawn Lane.
1:28
sounds like Dennis chambers on kit
It’s Ricky Wellman. Maybe a little stiffer version of drummer than Dennis. I think Dennis never played with Miles although rumors say Miles wanted him in his Band
Ricky Wellman, who was in Miles's band continuously from 1987 to Miles's passing in 1991.
I feel so bad for the trumpet guy. He didn’t even finish the interview and his partner was getting hired by Miles. Life’s a bitch they say haha
Damn the guy with the trumpet was deflated...was that chris botti?
ha!
John Swana from Philadelphia
Poor John Swana
John's an excellent musician.
I love Joey DeFranceso. However, I'm not a fan of all the electronic toys and gadgetry. Joey really shines behind the Hammond B3 and that is a sound that will always turn heads in the room. RIP Joey, you will be sadly missed Sir. His solo on Sunny speaks for itself (with Martino, Scofield and Landham) in the following video - ruclips.net/video/syercy760YQ/видео.html
Enjoy.
Oh yeah, Sunny is one of my favorite jazz standards. I love that performance but I hadn't heard it in some time. Thanks for posting. Man... we lost Martino last year, and now DeFrancesco. At least Scofield is still with us. He's only 70, so hopefully he will continue to be for a good long while.
In the 70s we got into Kung Fu, weights, running, meditation, spirituality. Off drugs. In the eighties we got into food and drink. Most of us became obese and diabetic with hypertension and respiratory problems from tobbacco and herb. Let's be honest about what is killing off our great artists. Put on 200 lbs. and you will not make it to old age.
This bullshit would get him beat up at my high-school, not a job with Miles Davis.
Heroin sucks. Sorry about Joey overdosing
What is the source of this misinformation? You think this man's death is a joke?
I heard the same thing
It was cardiac arrest, health related. No heroine involved
Mad cynical drug addled Miles just doing it for the money. Shamefully misleading a generation of young fan boy musicians. Early Miles was a genius for the ages. The "fusion" stuff is garbage.
Talk for yourself. Many don't share your opinion. Moreover, everybody has an opinion, but facts are facts. Miles was a genius not only in his musical performances,
the music he created but also the musicians he recognised in their genius talent to set the stage for the next generations. Now that is a FACT!!!
People can make up their own minds - what a stupid comment to suggest a whole generation of great musicians are blindly following Miles. You stay where you are, everyone else is free to play what they want.
Miles always followed his vision, his own way. This is his true brand and I don't think he would make shitty music on purpose.
Where is the cut off for you?
In a silent way/bitches?
Man with the golden horn
Dude, bitches brew is amazing, in a silent way too and tutu was pretty good
what a boring, pointless solo
Could you please post one of your solos?
