Goodfellas

Goodfellas

Joey DeFrancesco is a Philadelphia organist who has previously worked in ensembles led by Miles Davis and guitarist John McLaughlin. On Goodfellas Francesco and his band mates play wonderful songs derived from their Italian upbringing. Performing instrumental versions of tunes associated with Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, and even classic Mob flicks like The Godfather, DeFrancesco shows a bit of humor, excellent musical taste, and an innate capacity to swing. Accompanied by gifted guitarist Frank Vignola and drummer Joe Ascione, DeFrancesco grooves outrageously through tunes like "Fly Me to the Moon," "Young at Heart," and even "Volare." With DeFrancesco wailing on the Hammond B3, Vignola churning out hot licks on his electric guitar, and Ascione kicking it underneath, this collection is chock full of authentically spicy jazz. --Mitch Myers
