RECORDINGS
"All In The Family"
 

JOEY DeFRANCESCO
 
 
All Of Me
1989 Columbia CK44463

This is JOEY's debut album (at seventeen years old!) and puts the jazz world on notice that a new, young lion is emerging on the scene.  Certainly the shape of things to come.
 

Where WERE You
1990 Columbia CK45443
 
JOEY's second album features quite a few big band arrangements with some heavy hitting personnel.  This recording was done at the famous Rudy Van Gelder studios.
  Part III
1991 Columbia CK47063

Worth getting  just for Dr. Jekyll - fasten your seat belt.  Debuts current trio
personnel Paul Bollenback on guitar and Byron Landham on drums.

 
   Reboppin
1992 Columbia CK48624
 
This is a wonderful recording with real diversity - some great originals and famous jazz classics.
  Live At The 5 Spot
1993 Columbia CK53805
 
Live recording at NYCs 5 Spot.  B3 quintet (add Jim Henry on trumpet and Robert Landham on alto saxophone) with 4 additional different tenor saxophonists - Illinois Jacquet, Grover Washington, Houston Person, and Kirk Whalum.  Jack McDuff joins JOEY on "Spectator".
  Street Of Dreams
1995 Big Mo 20252
 
JOEY adds some vocals and trumpet to this collection of jazz standards.  Included are a Jack McDuff original, as well as a Paul Bollenback composition.
  Relentless
Danny Gatton /Joey DeFrancesco
1994 Big Mo 20232

This high energy recording features Danny Gattons unique style of jazz
guitar fueled by JOEY's B3 work.  Great!!
 

 
The Free Spirits -Tokyo Live
John McLaughlin
1993 Verve 314 521 870-2
 
Not your typical organ trio - take John McLaughlin and JOEY and add Dennis Chambers and you have a different spin on a traditional format.
  After The Rain
John McLaughlin
1995 Verve 314 527 467-2
 
More good stuff featuring three John Coltrane tunes - this time Elvin Jones is on drums.
  Like That
Jimmy Bruno with Joey DeFrancesco
1996 Concord Jazz CCD-4698
 
Jimmy Bruno is, in fact, a FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.  This album features 6 of Jimmys original tunes which contribute to a really great album - a must have CD.
  Marchel Ivory
Marchel Ivory Meets Joey DeFrancesco
1997 Leaning House BB-004
 
JOEY was invited to drop in on Marchel's recording session and ended up headlining on the album.    

 
"PAPA JOHN" DeFRANCESCO
 

Doodlin'
1993 Muse Records MCD 5501

Groovin.  Its not what you play, but how you play it.  Thats PAPA JOHN.  A Rudy Van Gelder recording.  
Check It Out!

Comin' Home
1995 Muse Records MCD 5531

More good stuff.  PAPA JOHN had a  musical Dad just like JOEY and JOHNNY, but it was JOEY and JOHNNY who encouraged their Dad to record his music for everyone to enjoy - good thing they did!

All In The Family
1998 HighNote Records HCD 7021

The recording we've all been waiting for.   PAPA JOHN teams up with JOEY for a complete album with "PAPA JOHN" setting the grooves and JOEY tearing it up.

   

 JOHNNY DeFRANCESCO

Make A Move
1995 Ton A' Chops Records TOC089
 
JOHNNYs a great guitar player and singer. Blues and Funk - and Burnin, too!  This CD features a variety of styles, but Johnny's first love is the blues.  A very capable player with a lot of soul, this CD showcases JOHNNYs talents as a versatile guitarist and a fine vocalist as well.
