Joey D, with Pharoah Sanders

Recommended Posts

Was in the mood for some Joey D, and looked chronologically for his latest. Wow! I did not care for his previous effort ( Van Morrison just didn't float my boat on standards; much prefer Joe Pesce ), but his latest from a few months back is excellent. This is an in-the-studio/talking heads kinda vid:

Wow, very cool. I realized as the video started that I'd never heard Joey speak before this. He caught me off guard, sounding just a little bit like Tony Soprano. :laugh:

 

As for Pharoah Sanders, I'll always associate him with a politics professor I had in college, who once countered my request for John Coltrane with "I'll play you some Pharoah Sanders... he was like Coltrane's Coltrane." In a way, he's right, but that has always stuck with me as one of the rudest I'm-cooler-than-you forms of one-upsmanship I've ever encountered. That was sort of that professor's M.O.

 

Did I see in that video that Joey is playing a (gasp) digital Hammond in the studio?
