Our Take

Ah, Joey DeFrancesco, the champ is back for round 2 and he's ready to knock our socks off with his latest offering. Champ Round 2 is a whirlwind of funky beats, smooth grooves, and killer organ riffs that will have you dancing in your living room in no time.

From the opening track to the closing notes, DeFrancesco showcases his masterful skills on the Hammond B-3 organ, proving once again why he is hailed as one of the greatest jazz organists of our time. His fingers fly across the keys, creating melodies that are both intricate and infectious.

But it's not just DeFrancesco's talent that shines on this album - his bandmates are equally impressive. The tight-knit rhythm section keeps the energy levels high, while the horn players add a touch of brass that elevates the music to new heights.

Tracks like "Funky Doo" and "Blues for Bobby C" are standouts, with their catchy hooks and infectious rhythms. But it's the slower, more introspective tracks like "The Unifier" that really showcase DeFrancesco's versatility as a musician.

Overall, Champ Round 2 is a knockout album that solidifies Joey DeFrancesco's status as a true champion of jazz. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or just looking for some good music to groove to, this album is a must-listen. So go ahead, press play and let the magic of Joey DeFrancesco sweep you off your feet.
