A heart attack at 51, I’m learning that too, so sad.😢. I saw him with McLaughlin in Montreal when he was maybe 25 years old, he could already play like that. I was a teenager at that time. Good memories
Molina watching him says everything. Loved Joey's music for years. He was the one who played with Miles, and got Jimmy's heritage on the instrument. Joey had everything: incredible bass lines, uncomparable melodic and be-bop solos, amazing technique and beautiful sounds.
Now that is music! Intro, body, break (chorus), body and improv. The feel is all there. For those stuck on modes and scales, music is an emotional and intellectual form of communication..time space notes and the heart....Few attain it. Even fewer if your trust is based on the mechanics of it..Creativty is a big key in all of it
Aside from Joey being totally unbelievable, in tuned into the drummer this time around and I was spinning in adrenaline. He really tuned in and made the best out of three pieces.
i watched a vid back in the day with a young Joey D in a trio set up with John Mclaughlin and Dennis Chambers it was superb, he had that Hammond humming, sad he left us too early.
Un grand artiste hyper gentil super sociale le maître de son clavier qui transmet ses émotions et communique ses performances a travers de ses doigts magique avec succès Bravo grand artiste Respect
What happened to such a down-to-Earth talented guy. I know not. I know he's Sorely missed. Surely people like him who bring innocent thrills to others with their talents must be in a better place than here. Sorely missed. 💌
I bet those present didn't know there was another keyboard prodigy standing right nearby - and that's Jesus Molino in the yellow! (before he lost a ton of weight).
:27 How the drummer resolved to go into a pseudo bossa /Latin, straight rythm after JD had established a swing feel up to that point is kind of mind boggling. Also possible he just wasn’t familiar w/ James Ingram either
