American jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco came to fame in the 1980s and has been one of the leading figures in the renaissance of the Hammond organ.

"He has dominated the instrument and the field as no one of his generation has.” – Chicago Tribune

At the age of 17, he joined Miles Davis and his band for a European concert tour. In 2018, he released an album with Van Morrison, “You’re Driving me Crazy.” Tracks from Joey DeFrancesco’s latest album, “In the Key of the Universe” (2019) will feature in tonight’s late night concert.
