Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Joey DeFrancesco - Incredible!
Did you know that there is a sub-genre of jazz that features
the mighty
Hammond B-3 organ?
You did?
Oh.
Sorry but everything I know about jazz I learned from
Ken Burns.
Incredible! features present-day jazz organ wizard
Joey DeFrancesco
with a special guest, jazz organ pioneer Jimmy Smith.
Now I can't tell good jazz from bad but I can tell you that
if you're a fan of the Hammond
(favored by Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, and so many others
in the rock world)
you will want to give this a listen.
Joey and Jimmy team up for two medleys on the album.
Check out
the first
and
the second.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to investigate some
Bernie Worrell...
