Joey DeFrancesco: Organ Master meets Crooner
R.J. DeLuke
R.J. DeLuke is an indefatigable jazz fan and arbiter elegantiarum who aspires to ultimate hipness; also an upstate NY freelance writer for various media.No matter how far he may get into other keyboards, the music will still have balls. 'That element will always be there. The groove and the swing will always be there, regardless of the presentation. I play a lot of standards. I think that's one of the reasons why people enjoy what I'm doing too. There's so much to those standards.'
'I want to get back to that whole swing thing. The Louis Prima stuff. Maybe not do exactly the same thing they were doing, but the spirit of it. It's so important to have fun, for people to see you having fun at what you're doing,' he said of the possible future project.
As for everything else? 'I'm doing very well and I feel very fortunate.' That's a guy who's lightened up.
