Soulstation1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Joey has the touch on this one Solid CD Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Hadn't heard that this was being released. Looks interesting but I have to say I wish it were on HighNote and that Houston Person was the saxophonist, I'd love to hear him blow on Horace's compositions. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 CD release has been delayed according to dustygroove Gotta check out the cover on CD Quote
mr jazz Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 He was terrible recently at Blues Alley. In a rather surly mood and no one at our table liked the lame Chick Corea 70s sound his other keyboard was getting from his cheesie synth. Byron Landham almost, almost made up for this far less than lackluster performance. When pressed, JD said he was sick of the guitar. Well, we were sick of his sound as well. Quote
Michael Weiss Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Anyone have a recording date for this? Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 listening now on Rhapsody, pretty cookin. My guess is recently cuz it sounds like Joey is playing the Diversi, the percussion sounds funny. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 Weird CD is not listed over on Joey's website Quote
marcello Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) He was terrible recently at Blues Alley. In a rather surly mood and no one at our table liked the lame Chick Corea 70s sound his other keyboard was getting from his cheesie synth. Byron Landham almost, almost made up for this far less than lackluster performance. When pressed, JD said he was sick of the guitar. Well, we were sick of his sound as well. I saw him last night. The other keyboard player is Pat Bianchi, who lives in Denver now. He also had a vocalist named Colleen McNabb. I sat at their dinner table for a while because he was with a drummer I know Carmen Intorre, who will be playing with him soon and was hitching a ride in his tour bus on the way back to NYC. Joey D was a little surly, but what the hell. Maybe it's just because he's so huge. He played pretty well but also played a real cheesy keyboard for a toy like sound on Waltz for Debbie, which the singer sang. It didn't come off well. He later played with a small keyboard that he could use with his mouth when festival producer John Nugent sat in on a blues. Nugent is a very good saxophonist, by the way. The crowd ate it up and demanded a encore. Edited June 14, 2009 by marcello Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 I thought Joey lost a bunch of weight? Quote
marcello Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 If he did, that's scary! Here's a photo from last night: Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 are you sure the surliness isn't JOS' spirit being channeled through Joey? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Posted June 15, 2009 I was thinking the same thing about JOS Quote
mr jazz Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 . He also had a vocalist named Colleen McNabb. /quote] She was soooo mediocre. We might have stayed for the second set as it was half cover but none of us wanted to pay to see her lame singing again. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 her singing on "The Authorized Bootleg" is awful, thankfully its only 1 tune and the rest of the album is so great. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 Going to see Joey D in 90 minutes Hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Quote

Soulstation1 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 I did talk to Joey last time I saw him We talked JOS for a minute Quote
mr jazz Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Joey redeemed himself when we saw him with Cobb and Coryell last year. All in great form! Quote

Milestones Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) I think we should re-energize this thread. I have actually done fairly little to follow Joey, other than his several appearances on John McLaughlin records. Oh, and there's the Yoshi's record with Pat Martino, which to these ears is about as good as guitar-organ-drums gets. I've recently been checking out Reboppin', which has a lot of good tracks, as well as the two-disc Christmas album. In short, he seems like someone I should look into more deeply.
