{"product_id":"joey-defrancesco-project-freedom-1","title":"Joey DeFrancesco - Project Freedom [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hammond organist Joey DeFrancesco has been making amiably hard-swinging albums for years, and has often distinguished himself as an intelligent sideman for stars such as David Sanborn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Project Freedom is one of the Philadelphian's most personal journeys into his favourite soul-jazz territory yet. Songs by everyone from Sam Cooke (A Change Is Gonna Come) to John Lennon (Imagine) surface on the tracklist. DeFrancesco adds wah-wah effects to the familiar Hammond sound, and his punchy band includes the soul-bop guitar sound of Dan Wilson and the smoky-toned, drily impassioned tenor saxophonist Troy Roberts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track is fast moving and freeboppish after a Hammond-sermon intro, and The Unifier has a contemporary soul-funk sound. Meanwhile, the gospel classic Lift Every Voice and Sing sparks a fearsome double-time organ break, and the versatile DeFrancesco plays some Miles Davis-like muted trumpet on One. It's generic music-making, but by a band having a ball with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67762205851938,"sku":"673203112117","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/3204797-2616097.jpg?v=1794311997","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/joey-defrancesco-project-freedom-1","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
