Joey DeFrancesco & 'Papa' John DeFrancesco • All in the Family

Review

Organist Joey DeFrancesco found his first musical inspiration at home, in his father "Papa" John. Although the elder DeFrancesco never became famous, his son's success has led to him getting opportunities to record. The two DeFrancescos had recorded together a little bit in the past, but usually with Joey switching to trumpet. For this date, they are both heard exclusively on twin organs with a fine supporting cast: tenor saxophonist Bootsie Barnes, producer Houston Person sometimes on second tenor, guitarist Melvin Sparks and drummer Byron Landham. The repertoire is fairly typical of soul-jazz, with basic originals, a couple of pop melodies ("Sunny" and "Those Were the Days" from All in the Family), the heated "Blues for Sweet Sue," the swing-era hit "Tuxedo Junction" and even an R&B read of "When the Saints Go Marching In." On "My Buddy," Joey and Papa John talk a bit spontaneously about their close relationship and engage in some effective singing. Easily recommended to fans of jazz organ.

Reseña:

El organista Joey DeFrancesco encontró su primera inspiración musical en casa, en su padre "Papa" John. Aunque el anciano DeFrancesco nunca se hizo famoso, el éxito de su hijo le ha llevado a tener oportunidades para grabar. Los dos DeFrancescos habían grabado juntos un poco en el pasado, pero normalmente con Joey cambiando a la trompeta. Para esta fecha, ambos se escuchan exclusivamente en órganos gemelos con un fino elenco de apoyo: el saxofonista tenor Bootsie Barnes, el productor Houston Person a veces en segundo tenor, el guitarrista Melvin Sparks y el baterista Byron Landham. El repertorio es bastante típico del soul-jazz, con originales básicos, un par de melodías pop ("Sunny" y "Those Were the Days" de All in the Family), el acalorado "Blues for Sweet Sue", el éxito de la era del swing "Tuxedo Junction" e incluso una lectura de R&B de "When the Saints Go Marching In". En "My Buddy", Joey y Papa John hablan un poco espontáneamente sobre su estrecha relación y se dedican a cantar de forma efectiva. Se recomienda fácilmente a los aficionados al órgano de jazz.
