5.0 out of 5 stars Great Organ Playing Mixed with an Orchestra!, September 10, 2005

This review is from: Vibrant Tones (Audio CD)

Mix a swing jazz orchestra with a hip organ and you have one exciting album! Listening to this CD reminds me of a time long gone. This was the standard music for jazz lovers in San Francisco back in the early 60's. Joey DeFrancesco has a style right out of the Jimmy Smith playbook! Maybe because he's played with him in the past. He's obviously picked him as an influence. For instance, the track "The Cat" is a marvelous display of DeFrancesco's high powered organ playing. The classic blues track, "Blues in Hoss' Flat" is done with perfection, blending the solid playing of the 18 piece orchestra and the Hammond B3 Organ playing of DeFrancesco. The CD package includes a DVD of the orchestra playing in concert at Wiggins Park in Camden, NJ. Vibrant Tones will make you jump, jive and wale. It's an excellent piece of work.
