Joey DeFrancesco Trio - Ya See What I'm Sayin'

[deadzior]

The guitarist looks like Bob Saget

[Observingthechaos]

I really admire Charlie Hunter, but this guy is phenomenal as well.

[azbyhorn]

lInspired by the octave playing of Wes Montgomery and George Benson, Frank plays more in the style of Bucky Pizarelli and his son John Pizarelli Jr.

Check out the post of Frank and Bucky playing Limehouse Blues....btw

Bucky is playing a 7 string guitar which accounts for the ultral low tones.

[sharpiegold]

i didnt know bob saget could rip it on the guitar

[PablitoGrao]

who is the battery-man?? he is like a kind of crazy metronome

[va7mn]

Joey's like an octopus - a brain in each hand.

[SAHBfan]

I don't care which bit of his body he's using - but there is always some really great bass playing on any video where DeFrancesco is playing - and almost never a bass player :-o

[Radney12]

I just saw Frank Vignola live opening for Tommy Emmanuel, he was amazing. I even got an autographed cd from him, he's a really sweet guy. I just think its funny how i completely accidentally stumbled upon this video.

[0932486509]

I get that it's fast and very well played, but so is a hooker playing a fiddle. I just don't see the point. Jazz prides itself on originality, but I haven't heard a single original thing from jazz in who knows how long. Notes, notes, notes played as fast as possible over chords. That whole concept is just getting so dull for me.

It's a good thing people don't talk that way. Shut up and take a breather in a while! Say something important. Enough with the verbal diarrhea!

[0932486509]

@0932486509 Actually I have farts that sound more original than most jazz. If it's originality you're looking for, then I can hook you up! Wait till you hear this!

[gingervytis]

@0932486509 duh, hay man dat wuz sum bad shit u sed dare man u kewl

[LintoneMuzick]

Yes, I realize there is no Bass Player and it' amazing how he"s countering that bass line with a melody with the right hand.....OMG Crazy!!!!!

[KrummyBear]

Joey don't need no bassist! Just that second brain for his left hand.

[hitzville81]

I love Joey's facial expression after he's done with his solo....it's like he's saying "top that suckas"

[EPITAPH31]

wow ans wow. this is it. outstanding ,,, chapeau.

[pamirs94]

Frank Vignolo is not suspended!!!!!??? what do u mean???

[hugleberthumperdink]

@pamirs94 That is merely one line of the description - it reads 'Joey DeFranceso Trio - Ya See What I'm Sayin' - with Frank Vignola. Isartolie (the dude who used to have all of these DeFrancesco videos up) has been suspended.' Mr Vignola most certainly is not suspended - though he should be, he's making me want to get my guitar nd break it in half.

[dkeys04]

sick

[gcalvanetten]

0:50 - I love the guitarist's reaction to Joey's lil' motive. Awesome video!

[gingervytis]

4:41: JD smiles... like "youse dint tink we'd land it huh?"

[organham]

Joey is really trying and this is good!

[snoopysboo]

The guitar player is killin! Rhythm and improv is off the chain! Lines are even and fluent. WOW! Great music.

[pamirs94]

what are the chords for this?

[unibomber111]

@pamirs94 its a rhythm change

[pamirs94]

what do u mean Frank is suspended? he is definitely not.

[stuthomson]

What's amazing is that he's holding down the bass line with his left hand as his right smokes the upper manual. Quite mind-blowing.

[organham]

@stuthomson What gets me,playing a Hammond don't forget the foot bass pedals!! Also it seems hard to play the guitar man too!!!

[cadillacjackellis]

Oh My God  !!

[MattieSongbird]

Amen.

[gingervytis]

After seeing this a few times, I just happily realized that JD is *not* using the Hammond chorus on the upper manual.

[jazzbandyta]

Coś niesamowitego. Szczyt doskonałości.

[organham]

Joey is like Bill Evans as he grew older. Joey's solos are more muscial than they were after he played with Miles Davis. He is a very happy guy and you can tell on this cut.

[theorygeek00]

His technique has also gotten so much better. In a video with Miles his trills were all over the place. In the end of this song, they looked much more relaxed.

[gingervytis]

0:53. Face expressions at surprise 1/2 step up lick.

[gingervytis]

3:04 to 3:14 glissanodos!

[sickwitdastix08]

threw the salt peanuts at the end of the song. BRilliant

[KrummyBear]

salt PEAnuts salt PEAnuts. .... dizzy ftw.

[pamirs94]

what is with these Italians? They are so good in music.

[HammondB200]

Blackmail...

[VladtheEmailer]

It's all the lycopene in the tomato sauce I imagine! ;-)

[cartiergl]

wow!!!!!!!!

[haduroboros]

Look on the drummer at 1:07 :-)

[daftweebrush]

Nothin u can say except bow doen in awe

[mpcguy]

joey d has great left hand bass. if you want to see someone tear up the the pedal board watch a barbera henrlein vid

[febbster]

hey guys can you pick it up a little?

[lobserve]

exactly, everything is fine, but a bit slow-hand ...

[daftweebrush]

:D :D :D

[rocsil]

Nice, nice, nice ... organ, drums and guitar

Beautiful music

Thank you for sharing this videos

[Jerram89]

I think the extra cool part about this (most people don't realize), is that there's no Bass Guitarist; De Francesco is playing that walking bass using his feet on the pedal board!

[HammondB200]

Why do you viewers keep thinking that, HE DOESN't! he plays the bass with his left-hand

[bitzebu]

powned

[snoopysboo]

Yes. I've seen Joey live many times. He's playing the bass line with his left hand, but if look closely, when he's not tapping with his foot, it's following his hand. It's not pronounced until he wants to emphasize the left hand sound with his foot, but that's all left hand. AND IT'S STEADY!!!!!

[VladtheEmailer]

It freaks me out how the bass line in the left hand stays steady as well as creative while that insane solo goes on in the right hand. The man has more than one brain!

[qlee53]

@HammondB200 He does a little of both. I've heard him "comp" with his LH during a solo and obviously the foot pedals are doing the bass line.

[hugleberthumperdink]

@HammondB200 I know man, everywhere, on just about any B3 video - even if theres a shot of the organist barely moving his feet, if just to play the root, people assume it's where the awesome bassline is coming from, the wonder of the hammond's great manual. Then again, wouldn't it be awesome to hear a bassline such as this one, played on the pedal board - I bet Mr DeFrancesco could do it if it so took him. Many thanks for the isartolie replacement service!

[widepass]

@HammondB200 Left hand AND foot pedals for accents!

[KrummyBear]

Lul Joey D epic comping for the win.

[unibomber111]

They are all so gooood.

[knightporter100]

just ............>FANTASIC

[unibomber111]

I'm suprised that Frank Vignola doesn't play with much of the biggest cat's in the world today. Correct me if i'm wrong. Maybe he just wouldnt fit with like, Joshua redman, Chris Mcbride, etc... He seems very traditional maybe? Don't know his all around playing as much. He's so good on this howerver. Bravo!

[Cerpa05]

He is great, and I could see him with a number of big NYC cats but he is all about his Gypsy Jazz stuff

[DominusOminous]

Mega awesome! Thanks.

[lobserve]

Quality!!!

[666PaulKersey666]

Smooking...............

[korglove]

i think even oscar peterson and chick corea can't catch joey. he is simply to much!!!!

[unibomber111]

Strongly disagree, Joey Oscar and Chick are all GREAT in their own rights. What Joey can do that they can't, well oscar and chick can do aalot of stuff which joey can't. No need to compare though. They are all great!

[unibomber111]

When the drummer brings in the snare on 2 and 4, something so simple like that just completely lifts joey's solo 10 feet off the ground man.

[steviemusic1]

That is bloody brilliant! :-)

[GinwithJuice]

WOW, I'm very impressed.

I know about Joey and here is a perfect Timing with a guitarist. Perfect Jazz, I love it

[johnniebwoy]

Salt Peanuts! Salt Peanuts! That was awesome!

[gcpezzi]

hahaha, Yeah!... That was funny...

[Lickmereet]

this gets better every time i see it, i couldn't find it for a while, glad its back up!

[denrush]

This guy is awesome...My friend Melvin told me about him...OUCH,,, Joey can play....

I could listen to him play all day

[hickeye]

This makes me miss South Philly

[gingervytis]

Bflat is a nice feeling key for this type of playing. Lays well under the hands.

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

defrancesco is amazing

[yungatown]

the guitar player looks like bob saggot.

[misterriddlez]

hahahahahahaha

[davetrombone1]

[dabbexperience]

[soduno]

i'm happy to see that a modern drummer is getting inspiration from the great buddy rich... Those guys are so cool :-)
