{"product_id":"joey-defrancesco-project-freedom-2lp","title":"Joey DeFrancesco - Project Freedom [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hammond organist Joey DeFrancesco has been making amiably hard-swinging albums for years, and has often distinguished himself as an intelligent sideman for stars such as David Sanborn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Project Freedom is one of the Philadelphian's most personal journeys into his favourite soul-jazz territory yet. Songs by everyone from Sam Cooke (A Change Is Gonna Come) to John Lennon (Imagine) surface on the tracklist. DeFrancesco adds wah-wah effects to the familiar Hammond sound, and his punchy band includes the soul-bop guitar sound of Dan Wilson and the smoky-toned, drily impassioned tenor saxophonist Troy Roberts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track is fast moving and freeboppish after a Hammond-sermon intro, and The Unifier has a contemporary soul-funk sound. Meanwhile, the gospel classic Lift Every Voice and Sing sparks a fearsome double-time organ break, and the versatile DeFrancesco plays some Miles Davis-like muted trumpet on One. It's generic music-making, but by a band having a ball with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49972352811250,"sku":"673203112117","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3204797-2616097.jpg?v=1787586685","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/joey-defrancesco-project-freedom-2lp","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
