"Well, B-3 organ fans, I was purchasing this CD to send to my father (a real B-3 artist) when I noticed that there were no reviews of this CD. It is fabulous, and in the true spirit of Joey DeFransesco descended from jimmy Smoth, et. al. I heard ""I'm an Old Cowhand" on the radio, and thought "If I can ever find that CD, I'm BUYING it! Well, Joey is his better-than-ever funky self and try this baby on for size."

The ability of Joey at the organ is extraordinary !!!

He surpasses the master of the jazz organ Jimmy Smith and substitutes for him IN A FULL CAPACITY !!!!

To me, this is one of the best album in the history of the Organ Jazz and in the ones of Joey also. Also this is one of my favorites album !!!

THE ORGANIC passages were fully handed down from teacher (Jimmy Smith) to disciple ( Joey) and this is the excellent result !!!!

ENJOY IT !!!

GOD BLESS JOEY DEFRANCESCO FOREVER !!!"
