Joey DeFrancesco is adored for his buoyant, moody sense of swing and balladry as a composer and as a player. That's a bluesy, blustery sensibility shared with the men in his family: saxophonist-grandfather Joseph DeFrancesco, and his father – organist "Papa" John DeFrancesco. Jazz lovers also dig DeFrancesco's second instrument, the trumpet, and the inspiration gleaned from his first big boss, Miles Davis – with whom DeFrancesco gigged when the organist was in his late teens. "Project Freedom", the excellent soul-jazz outing by Joey DeFrancesco and his new band The People, features DeFrancesco on organ, keyboard and trompet, Dan Wilson on guitar, Troy Roberts on tenor saxophone, and Jason Brown on drums. 

"...the versatile DeFrancesco plays some Miles Davis-like muted trumpet on One."
