wonderfully talented, saw him numerous times live over the years, cheerful spirit, very likeable
he was such a large man, i suspected he might not see a ripe old age
rip joey, you will be missed
Joey DeFrancesco
RIP 8/26
The greatest organist and jazz multi-instrumentalist leaves us after just 51 years of living and sharing his music almost since he was born.
He was extremely obese so that might play the critical factor of his sudden death.
My favorite record is him with John McLaughlin Live in Tokyo
