Description
As hes made abundantly clear throughout the past 30 years, Hammond organ virtuoso and trumpet master Joey DeFrancesco has plenty of soul. What most listeners probably havent spent much time pondering is that souls place in the universe.
On his adventurous new album, In The Key Of The Universe, the master organist turns his musical attentions to his spiritual side, tapping into a strain of metaphysical jazz thats fueled sonic searchers for more than half a century. Joey D calls upon disciples and missionaries of jazz to join him in paving the way to enlightenment. DeFrancesco naturally feels a profound connection to the questing, devotional jazz of forebears from Pharoah Sanders to John Coltrane to John McLaughlin. It may seem like a change in direction, but unexpected travels into new territory has been a central tenet of DeFrancescos music throughout his remarkable career.
