Music reviews of Incredible
Music Review: Only live recording between two B3 giants
Rating: 5 Stars
Critics both in Jazztimes and DownBeat rated this CD only as a average good recoding from the two masters, I think they where dead wrong in their critics. When Joey kick's off with "The Champ" in a murderous speed backed excellently by Paul Bollenback (guitar) and Byron Landham (drums, you feel that something special is going to happen that night at the San Francisco Jazz Festival. Joey knows that "The Incredible" is sitting behind the curtains waiting for their first ever live encounter - so why not start with Jimmy Smith's trademark tune for 13 halleluja minutes! Next the trio turn into a joyous version of "When You're Smilin'" before they slow down for the beautiful ballad "The Good Life", made immortal years ago by the late great organist Don Patterson on the "The Exciting new Organ of Don Patterson" album (Prestige) . With Jimmy still behind the curtains to listen and prepare, Joey's trio makes a uptempo soulful bluesy version of a not-to-often B-3 recorded "Back Home Again In Alabama".
With a smokey voice (just still in his 30's?!?) Joey introduces "his hero, mentor and The incredible" to join him on the same bill. Now be prepared for the two last medleys on the CD - in the right channel DeFrancesco with leslie chorus ON and the left channel Jimmy Smith with leslie chorus OFF. With Jimmy in command the two kick's off with a up-temp bluesy "The Reverend" before they make individual chord changes into the best organ battle ever recorded...the tune "Yesterday's". Turn the volume up high and enjoy their intro before Joey plays his solo part on solo organ in different keys and organ turns that blows your mind off. The question you ask yourself - can the 70 year old master keep up with this phenomenal youngster??? Don't worry, when Joey hand over his solo part to Jimmy to continue his solo organ performance, you realizes why Jimmy still is the "Muhammad Ali" of organ jazz. God, what a night it must have been to be on that concert! The last medley round "St. Thomas" is just great with calypso, straight 4/4 and blues combined. Joey and Jimmy played with great respect for each other on this recording, and I guess that today Jimmy smiles in heaven surround by organ freak angles by this recording! Jazz organ history was made that night in San Francisco.
