jerrythek Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I've been traveling deep down a YouTube dive on Joey and found this concert: he's rocking a Voce V3 driven by an Ensoniq TS-10. On a bad/rocking stand at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elif Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 [On the Jazz de Vitoria Gasteiz 1995 video posted earlier] The hand independence is stunning. Was he born with two brains? On the blues, the LH plays a walking bass line, perfectly in time with the drummer, while the RH takes off in a furious flurry of runs and bebop lines that are completely free of any notion of the beat, like its spewed from a completely different musical source. I've watched him do it many times and it always leaves me amazed. Such a talent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMcM Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Damn! I’ve been out of cell coverage for the past two weeks. I certainly didn’t think I would come back to civilization to hear this. Terribly sad right now. Joey was a great player and a very nice person. God rest his soul. Quote Wm. David McMahan I Play, Therefore I Am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad’Dib Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have a number of his CD’s. He was one hell of an organ Player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 with a lot of tears... I found some old recordings of mine, with Joey here in Italy (during some concerts, or some workshops, or simply having fun at friend's home after dinner...). I never published these videos because the audio quality is not so good, but now this is just a nice memory of moments spent together. I met him back in 2007 and every time he was in Milano he spent some time with me and other "organ friends". a really nice person, great musician, he was often a joker with us listening to his jokes ❤️ nice memories 1 nice memories 2 nice memories 3 (with Jimmy Cobb too) more unreleased videos coming...
