CJ Shearn Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 it appears to be a new recording from May this year with a trio of Jerry Weldon on tenor and Byron Landham. Joey's playing the Diversi as you can see on the back insert. on High Note. http://www.amazon.com/Joey-D-DeFrancesco/d...4599&sr=1-1 Quote
jazzkrow Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 The new Joey D is now out. I dig the Diversi and Jerry Weldon plays a mean tenor. The Diversi site mentions Joey playing with Lonnie Smith and Reuben Wilson next week at the Iridium. That would be a sweet show to catch... Joey is touring the country playing the Diversi and doing clinics. He has bought into the Diversi company as part owner! Quote

AllenLowe Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 what's a diversi? a vibrating organ? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 It's a "clonewheel"... a digital keyboard made to emulate the B3. Joey is part-owner of the company. Quote
AllenLowe Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 (making the sign of the cross): Is such a thing acceptable in the organ world? Quote
GregN Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) (making the sign of the cross): Is such a thing acceptable in the organ world? If it sounds good it should be. Of course, with organ nerds who knows... edit for typo Edited November 25, 2008 by GregN Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I play a clonewheel, too. Just one made by Hammond (which is really Hammond-Suzuki and is owned by the Japanese). I think it's a blessing. Most Hammond organs are approaching 40 years of age. Even if a club or festival provides one, you never know what kind of shape it's going to be in. I prefer to bring my own rig. Quote
JSngry Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 (making the sign of the cross): Is such a thing acceptable in the organ world? I've heard that there are many Roman Catholic organists, so I should think so. Quote
sheldonm Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Saw Joey play this earlier in the year...the sound was good.....Joey was average. m Quote
