O’s Notes: Joey’s latest B3 band includes drummer Jason Brown, Troy Roberts on sax, and guitarist Dan Wilson. Just to keep you guessing DeFrancesco also plays a little trumpet and piano in addition to his slamming organ groove. The program is a balanced mix of covers and originals, a lot of blues and burners. Among the best are “Lift Every Voice And Sing”, “One” and “Karma”. Joey D seems to never run out of steam!
